[NP-Clinical] cervical abnormality

[Richard Webb/Laurel Danes-Webb]

Thanks for your thoughts. I wondered about endometriosis myself as a
possibility. We are getting a new provider in about a month and so that
might be a possibility.

Would you consider doing a biopsy yourself. Using a cervical biopsy forcep
is pretty easy. I have seen an endometriosis deposit on the cervix among
other things. How do I know it was endometriosis? It was in the first year
of my family practice and I had a physician in the clinic remove it and that
was the path. It was a very dark spot on the cervix. I do remove
endocervical polyps and they are pretty easy to remove. I have never seen
one that was cancerous and I don't think I will, but since they are more
friable they can cause spotting during coitus which is disconcerting to the
couple. I do a lot of womens health. How big is the area? Are you in a
clinic by yourself or could you get another opinion from one of the other
providers? That feedback is very helpful.

Could it be a varicosity? Have heard of this but never seen myself.

   If it is a polyp should still be addressed since inflammation or
infection  in the body can have long term cosequences.  There is a lot of
discussion currently about low grade inflammation being a contributing
factor to why females are having more acute MIs.  Are there free clinics
with OB/GYNs where she could be referred?

  This is not my area of expertise, but what I have learned from having gone
through this process myself.  

Good Luck,

Bridget
