Bleeding and cervical ectropian/erosion

[Indadhanu]

Hi all,

Had a bit of a scare this morning when I woke up and I was bleeding (TMI... creamy and red, with some clots), and completely freaked out... Rushed off to the hospital and put in the birth suite (which I could admire once we got the news that Bubble is fine and I'm not dilated... pretty much all I needed to hear... our birth suites all have their own massive baths. I'm so impressed!).

Anyway, after an extremely torturous IE, where the dr took a chainsaw to my cervix (ok, exaggeration, she had a feel and took a swab... but it felt like she had a chainsaw down there), I was told I had cervical ectropion/errosion (but not thrush like I thought I was getting) and that I was fine, go home, calm down and rest.

Pretty much all I was told was cervical ectropian/erosion, and it might bleed after sex.

So I'm just wondering if anyone else has this and what it actually means?
