small uterus???
| Fri, 12-12-2003 - 12:30pm |
I recently went to a gynecologist for the first time (I have been getting my pap's done by my family doctor)and he mentioned that I had a very small uterus, and that I had inflammation in my cervix. I asked him what that meant but he was very brisk, I felt like he was pushing me out the door. In all the exam and talk lasted not even 10 minutes.
So my question is: What does it mean to have a small uterus? I was on the pill for 4 years now, and recently stopped because it was making me sluggish and was the partial cause of stomach problems. When I am not on the pill I have my period about once every 3-6 months. I have always been a tiny bit afraid that I may not be able to have children easily, and when the doctor told me that I had a small uterus that increased my worry.
I am 21 years old, and in a few years I will start thinking of having a family.
Also, what does it mean to have inflammation of my cervix? Is this worrisome? I do find intercourse painful, it causes a sharp pain in my abdomen at times.
Hope someone can help!!
Thanks,
Lindsay
