If you haven't been to the gyno recently, you really should be going soon. Especially since you had the abnormal smear before.
Most of the time, early cervical cancer has no symptoms.
Symptoms that may occur can include:
* Continuous vaginal discharge, which may be pale, watery, pink, brown, bloody, or foul-smelling
* Abnormal vaginal bleeding between periods, after intercourse, or after menopause
* Periods become heavier and last longer than usual
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 feces from the vagina
* Bone fractures
get to a doctor please!!

What is Cervical cancer - Cervical cancer is a major concern for many women. The cervix is a ring of muscle at the top of the vagina. It is the entrance to the womb. During childbirth the cervix expands until it is wide enough to let the baby out. The surface of the cervix facing into the vagina is covered with a type of skin which can become cancerous.
Symptoms of Cervical cancer - It is unusual for women to experience the symptoms of cervical cancer these days as the vast majority of cases are diagnosed during cervical screening. When symptoms are observed, they are abnormal vaginal bleeding (between periods) and – more rarely – discomfort during intercourse.
Different types of Cervical cancer - This is one of the few types of cancer where there are clear early stages which can be diagnosed and treated. The first stage is called CIN 1 and simply means that the cells on the cervix are slightly abnormal. This may have several causes and often clears up after a while. CIN 2 is not cancer, but the cells on the surface of the cervix show a number of cancer-like changes which can be seen under the microscope. The third stage, CIN 3, is close to cancer and is also known as 'carcinoma in situ'. If left untreated, CIN 3 has a 50% chance of developing into cancer.
The treatment for CIN 2 or CIN 3 is very effective indeed. Even when someone is diagnosed as having cervical cancer, the treatments are still very good. Overall, three out of every five patients will be cured. For women under 50, nearly four out of every five are cured.

There are lots of reason this could happen, go to the doctor and have a urine test you could have a UTI ( simple to cure) you could also have a STD that is not hard to cure, abnormal cells need to be checked out as often as your doctor suggest usually every 3 mths it does not mean you have cervical cancer, ask your doctor for all these test: UA, CBC, HPV, another PAP,and a Chlamydia/Gonorrhea test, if you did have cancer cells on your cervix they will try to freeze them first and if that does not work they will suggest a removal of the cervix. I hope this helps.

You don't have those kind of symptoms for cervical caner. Cancer is an abnormal growning of cells, it doesn't usually cause discharge. You need to get a pap smear every year, and if you have an abnormal pap it should be every 6 months. Get one soon, so you know what is going on.

It sounds like an infection but you should go for a pap smear since you have a history of abnormal cells
