cervical stenosis, cervix scarred shut
has anyone been diagnosed with cervical stenosis? I got it from having a cone biopsy 2 years ago. I was on the depo shot so I wasn't getting any periods, but then i got severe abdominal pain and had to have surgery. That's when they noticed my cervix was scarred shut. It reclosed after the surgery 3 months ago. I am seeing a new dr soon, but i am confused. I haven't been able to evacuate menstrual fluid for the past two months. Anyone have any info?
I recently had a saline sonogram done. The HSG was ordered first but that doctor couldn't not access my cervix because it was too "hard". The doctor that performed the saline sonogram had a very hard time. He said when he first looked at my cervix that the opening was equal to a pinhead and that he was going to have to work at it. And BOY did he ever work at it. I was in a great deal of pain... and just as he began to talk about sending me to the hospital to have it done POP... he made way. He was able to insert the catherer after all that. My question is will my cervix remain open or will it close again? I believe it got that way after having my cervix frozen twice due to an abnormal pap.
Nice to read up about others who have had this. I had a LLETZ done in March 07 and when my periods became continuous and the pain unbearable my gyno told me "That is normal as you get older". Eventually I started having horrid symtoms and went to my GP. He immediately shipped me off to get an ultrasound and I had a nearly closed cervix and I had a haemometra in my womb that had been forming nearly two years since the operation. Last October I had a hysteroscopy, the blood removed and a catheter for a day. This didn't work and I totally stenosed and just before Christmas and over Jan/Feb I had 3 lots of dilation. For 5 weeks this looked good, but as soon as I tried to have a period, nothing. So this friday I am in again for another hysteroscopy and removal of blood, and they will then leave the catheter in until Sunday. I worry, as online research of catheter stent for use with stenosis shows that you need at least two weeks for it to work, so wonder if I'm wasting my time. I questioned my doctor about it previously, and he said what is the point of doing too much when less works, but I'm not sure less is better in this case :( I will take in the documentation with me and ask him about it, but do wonder if at 27, I will ever have a normal period again, or the ability to have children...
OMG im so glad I'm not alone..I had severe dysplasia and had a cone biopsy that removed a large section of my cervix (sept 08). I'm going back in today for my 5th dilation since (Jan 09). . My doctor tells me, my cervix is mutilated and this will be something I will have to continue doing... after much discussion we have agreed for me to have a partial hysterectomy, since I all ready have 2 children and have my tubes tied. The pain I have been going through each month is almost unbearable and with my tubes being tied my menstrual cycle just sits there til i get dilated again... I cant wait till my surgery because this is not something I can live with! I hope you all find an answer that works for you! xoxo
I myself have stenosis and have had it since I was 19, I am now 33. Never heard of dilation. I have however had my cervix lasered twice. Had my son in 2002. Cervix closed, lasered in 2003. Had a stillborn birth in 2007, lasered in feb. 2008, had my daughter in Dec. 2008 now need it done again. Had my tubes tied after her so won't be having anymore babies unfortunatley. However I also had 7 pregnancies in total 4 miscarriages, 3 babies. After every pregnancy my cervix would close and I would have it lasered. This should be the last time I get it done because I am not having anymore children, therefore my cervix has no reason to close. All my children were C-sections because my cervix would not dilate. Sometimes I think I should have just had a hysterectomey! Anyways I don't know where any of you ladies are from, but I live in Canada and have never heard of dilation and I have been dealing with stenosis for 14 years. Talk to your doctors about having your cervix lasered it worked for me.
hi i couldnt deliver my baby boy naturally last december because my cervix was scarred adn i wouldnt dilate. we believe it was scarred from the cervical suture i had put in in august last year to stop my son coming early like my daughter did. my drs havent mentioned ths condition to me but i think this sounds like wat it is. i am currently pregnant with #3 so will have to wait and see wat they say.
Hi everyone, I went in for a endometrial oblation in may 2008 and it worked as far as i was concerned. In August i started feeling and being sick aswell as fatigue, by Christmas i was having severe pain in my sides and top of the legs plus i started lightly bleeding and spotiing. Now We're in September and in the last four weeks i have had maybe 5 days were i was feeling normal. They said i had multiple ovarian cysts, when i questioned about all the symptoms i was told to go in for a endometrial biopsy, OMG i have never before had pain like it!!!! The doctor found that my cervix was closed and didn't know why, we figure it's from the oblation so i now have to be put to sleep for a DNC. I have asked for a hysterectomy as i am forty yrs old, had a tubal and don't need any of it anymore.
