Hello sbar83, 

Poor you it sounds like this itching is truly uncomfortable and I hope you won't have to wait too long for your biopsy and vaginal ultrasound. 

I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. I think it would be worth though mentioning this sore on the back of your neck as well as the other sores you describe to your doctor and gynaecologist and checking whether it is of relevance.

I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine.

Best wishes,

Do you think the open sores on my neck and vulva and anul  area could all be linked?? Can’t wait for Friday to be over I’ve done nothing but worry? 

Hi I’m really not sure as I had left vocal chord cancer treated and only this year thishas happened but doctors insist I’m ok and nothing to worry over i will be thinking of u Friday please let us all know as I’m still worried there is something wrong 

Thankyou 

pauline 

I will let you know, thank you. Hope your ok. I have been to the doctors for the past 6 months on and off over the itching etc and they kept treating me for everything and nothing worked so finally referred to gyno. Keep persistent it seems the only way these days......

Hi there 

Thankyou will see how u get in and like u say will speak with my gp again as also had creams and nothing works so far 

ty again

So today I went to see the gyno at the hospital. She carried out cryosurgery on some abnormal cells around my cervix which was fine didn’t hurt one bit was just like a smear she also took a swob. Then the hell came - she carried out 2 x biopsy’s and stitches which took 5 local anaesthetic injections to numb the areas (inner labia and outer labia) the injections were horrendous and I have a high pain threshold (after giving birth twice with no drugs). This was worse than childbirth. Now waiting 3 weeks for the results. Just resting in bed, sore with my hubby and boys looking after me. 

hi there sbar83 

first test sounds ok second sounds so painful bless u I just hope all will come back good for u fingers crossed 

can u let us know anything as I think I should also go back to doctors 

this itch is not giving up so I’m really concerned about it now as seems one area outer part and no cream working 

good  luck with results 

pauline
