PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP :(

I have suffering with lots of pulling pains and cramps for a while BUT this week (Thursday) the pains got so bad its waking me in my sleep i went to the doctors who sent me straight to the gyno department the same day. After many internals and scans i was told that my cervix is closed, they can't make out if its blocked or stitched and that i have been having periods but because of the cervix being closed its just sitting there. (not had period for 2 years as on mini pill and thought i was a lucky one). I have been told i will need to be put asleep while they operate and that its not a simple procedure and asked questions like do i plan to have any more children!? WHY? any way and that they will sent me a letter with a date for my op and that  it will be within this month. I am scared and very confused as i don't understand how this has happened! Has this happened to anyone? And if so what happens in the operation? Is it a speedy recovery for me?

I had a D and C (Dilation and Curation) when I had a miscarriage.  You don't feel anything during the surgery as you are "under".  When you come to you will have some cramping and pain - but nothing like you are having now.  Recovery is pretty fast and there is a chance that the cervix will only have to be stretched after the 3 or 4 months and you will not have to endure surgery again. It would depend on how you heal.  - good health to you, I hope things go well for you.

I'm finding out that Closed Cervix is what I have, and I've never had a baby. That what the doctors are asking you is do want to have more kids because they can do the option of a hysterectomy  (which means they take your ovaries and female organs out). There are other people that have decided have a DNC a procedure which cleans left behind tissue that would be normally passed during your period if you had one. You would have to go back and have it done every 3-4 months and can get expensive. They will have to re-open your cervix.
