Lately i have been havin severe cramps. my legs and back hurt often. i do not have normal menstruation. the last time i had my period was about 3 weeks ago, and it lasted for about 2 weeks. towards the end, the color was blackish brown. I always feel tired and worn out. i bled again blackish brown with none of the normal red... and it feels like my insides are twistin and turnin. when i am not bleeding i have discolored discharge that almost looks like mucus. if i do not have cervical cancer what else could be goin on? i am young and have only been with 3 people in my life. i only slept with my bf in the past 2 years. this is not a joke, i just am too shy to contact a real doctor at work. and when i try to talk to them they are busy. i do not want to waste time makin an appointment if this is not serious. Please help me.

Cervical cancer rarely has symptoms until it is in advanced stages. These symptoms that you have are abnormal and you NEED to see a doctor asap. Not going to a doctor because you're shy or scared is senseless. Your health comes before anything else. It might be that you just have a hormonal problem, whatever it is see a doctor immediately. Also, don't let the Doctor dismiss your worries, if he dismisses your symptoms, seek a second opinion, make sure that you are completely sure that there is nothing wrong by getting the right medical opinions.

Honey, never be ashamed to take care of your own health! If u dont want to speak to the docs u work with, talk to another one. BY ALL MEANS, don't let it progress. Whatever is going on doesn't sound normal at all. It could be an std or something called pelvic inflammatory disorder or bacterial vaginosis. Look it up on WEBMD for symptoms. I am not in health care, but have known of women that had these things and were in pretty severe pain. When left untreated it only gets worse. Trust me. Most gynecologists see and hear worse things than what youve mentioned and have seen thousands of body parts. If it is cancer, which I dont know, it would be better to catch it early and be treatable than in the latter stages. Best wishes!!

I would contact a doctor, you could have an infection or in my case I found out once that I had fibroid cystic tumors that were causing things like what you explained plus my periods were very heavy. It made me tired because I was losing so much blood. Anyway, I ended up outpatient surgery to freeze the uturas. I feel 100% better now. It has been 2 yrs. the tumors are not cancerous and it is normal to have them .

Honey, I'd go see a doctor, don't be waiting for the right answer on here! Are you in an area that has those phone numbers you can call for medical advice, with real nurses and such? Check and see if you do. They will tell you if it's something you should get to a doctor about. If you don't have that, don't let "shyness" stand in your way to getting a possible problem diagnosed.... Good luck

The fact is...if you value your health GET TO A DOCTOR! There are many other things that cause problems besides cancer. I don't know the scientific names, but I have 3 friends with 3 different conditions that cause similar problems. The only way you can be truly diagnosed and treated is to get to a doctor. Get over your "shyness"! That's what they are there for!

Sounds serious!!! You need to go to the doctor. It's in your best interest to cut that shy stuff out and get yourself looked at before irreversible damage is done. Make an appointment today and stop being silly

This is serious. I'm recovering from surgery for cervical cancer. Your symptoms do not sound like mine. They sound like indomitreosis. Make an appointment right now.

Oh, this is serious. You need to make an appointment ASAP.
I'm not sure that this is cancer, but it sounds like you're having some serious issues with your "girl stuff." This is NOT normal. Please go get checked. You won't regret it.

Well you are never going to know if it's serious or not until you see a doctor....
