okay so i've already posted a question about this,
but my mind still isn't at ease.
and i'm still freaking out about it.
im sixteen, only had sex with one guy (almost a year ago), who had sex with only one girl.
i had already had one cervical cancer needle before i had sex with him
protected most of the time (unprotected for about 5 minutes)
i don't have any cervical cancer symptoms really other that,
sometimes burning and pain.
and tonight just got pain in my groin and legs and lower stomach after drinking.
i don't know if i'm just being paranoid or if i could actually have it.
i always worry about diseases. it's silly. but do you think i could have cervical cancer?
I really don't think you have, your too young! It takes between 10 and 20 years for a cervical cancer to develop after HPV infection so your carn't have it (cancerhelp.org.uk/type/cervic… I hope this puts your mind at rest.

Also I would recommend popping along to a local sexual health clinic and getting checked over as its far more likley that you will have contracted an STI if anything..
The early stages of cervical cancer may be completely asymptomatic. Vaginal bleeding, contact bleeding or (rarely) a vaginal mass may indicate the presence of malignancy. Also, moderate pain during sexual intercourse and vaginal discharge are symptoms of cervical cancer. in advanced disease, metastases may be present in the abdomen, lungs or elsewhere.
Symptoms of advanced cervical cancer may include: loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, pelvic pain, back pain, leg pain, single swollen leg, heavy bleeding from the vagina, leaking of urine or faeces from the vagina, and bone fractures.
Papanicolaou (Pap) test sometimes with the human papillomavirus test.
Yearly (or every 2 yr if the newer liquid-based test is used) in all women within 3 yr of first vaginal intercourse but no later than age 21.
After age 30, every 3 yr if ? 3 consecutive examinations are normal and risk is not high
Sounds like you just have a urine tract infection, does it burn or uncomfortable when you go to toilet.
I suggest you go to the dr but don't let them give you antibiotics straight away if he does say you have a UTI (urine tract infection), have a urine test first so they no what bacteria is causing it. they try and give it to you straight away but its not a good idea to go on the antibiotics until you know what bacteria it is, make sure you let the dr no you don't want to go on antibiotics till you know the bacteria causing the discomfort. It can take up to 3 days to get test results- if their is blood in your urine or its an orange, coco cola colour it means its a deep infection and you should get to the dr straight away,
If you do go on a dose of antibiotics make sure you take some pro-biotic with and after the antibiotics to build up the friendly bacteria again.
Alcohol will inflame and worsen the symptoms of a urine tract infection so in the mean time stop drinking and drink lots of water to help flush the kidneys out. have lots of fresh fruit and veggies and if you don't want to go to the drs it will most likely cure itself in a weeks time just take lots of probiotics as this will help your immune system.
As with the cervical cancer scare now that you are sexually active you must go and have a pap smear every 2 years- in most cases they prevent cervical cancer from occuring if you get them check ups.
I agree with Clare that you are too young to have cervical cancer as it takes at least 10 to 15yrs for cervical cancer to develop.
I had cervical cancer 3yrs ago & it was found because i had a pap smear (which i hadn't been having regularly enough for a very long time). I didn't have any symptoms & if it weren't for the pap smear i wouldn't have known. my cancer was successfully removed with surgery.
As for you i think you should go to your doctor for a check up & be totally honest with him/her about how you are feeling just in case you may have contracted an STD. Good luck!
