Friable Cervix - Anyone Know Anything About It?

Hey guys,

I'm always able to turn here for advice on Celiac/gluten issues but I'm hoping someone could provide me with some advice for this.

I went for my yearly physical w/Pap and all yesterday, and during the exam my GP mentioned that my cervix was bleeding, that it's 'friable'. I'm nowhere near my period (and I'm on the pill) so it's not that.

She seemed concerned and said we'll wait and see what the Pap results are but she's going to send me to a specialist.

Has anyone else had this? I can't look on the internet because it freaks me out - cervical cancer/HPV and everything.

Help?!? :(

I know that chlamydia can cause the cervix to bleed and is easily treated. Now you don't have to worry about cancer, just a cheating significant other ha ha. I have also been told by my medical professional that it is normal to bleed after a pap test. I hope you get your results soon so that you can stop worrying.

I would find it hard to believe if it was chlamydia.

I've had the same BF for 6 years - we were each others' first and only. Never been apart.

Is chlamydia a possibility if you've only had one partner??

Friable just means "easily irritated and prone to bleeding". Why this is often associated with Std's, some people are just made this way.

I have bled every pap smear I've ever had. I have an easily irritated cervix that is prone to bleeding if you so much as give it a stern look. When I was younger I used to bleed every time I had sex, which is totally freaky. But seriously, yes this is sometimes an indicator of something more serious and sometimes its absolutely nothing at all. Calm down, wait for the test results, and go from there.

That's good to know, so it may be nothing at all.

Problem with me is, I've had a pap smear before and the exam and results were normal - no bleeding.

Also I've never bled after intercourse. This is all news to me.

Shouldn't be. Very romantic. Lucky you. Could just be from the pap, unless it was bleeding before.

I'm pretty sure it was bleeding before.

I went for the Pap last week and it was bleeding, so she figured it might still be my period so we rescheduled it to yesterday. Still bleeding.

It's hard not to think the worst when I don't know anything about it.

At this point, from what I've researched and from what you guys said, it seems like it could only be either:

-Chlamydia (I think its unlikely, unless my BF has cheated but I highly doubt it)

-Cervicitus/HPV/Abnormal cells/Cervical cancer

-Just really sensitive

Not sure. Just very worried.

It may be nothing at all. So dont worry. Wait for the results.

My cervix used to bleed at the drop of a hat. And I did end up having HPV (everyone who has ever had sex has at least a few strains). But I had 2 of the strains associated with Cervical Cancer. And I had pre-cancerous cells.

I refused invasive/mutilating surgery (LEEP) and went the natural route. I used a product called Beta-mannon

Open Original Shared Link

I took it orally and vaginally. And get this, I was so broke when I had this, that I called the company and they gave me 6 weeks of the supplement absolutely FREE. I didnt pay a dime.

PLUS everyday I used positive visualization. I saw those cells being eaten away by the little pac-men.

6 weeks later, I was completely healed.

My cervix has not bleed since. Not for sex or a PAP. All healed and I have been getting PAPS twice a year for the past 7 years. No return of bleeding or bad cells. :)

Thanks so much Shay, you're always so encouraging :)

I understand that if it is indeed pre-cancerous/cervical cancer that it is very treatable and many people live on their lives without it every reappearing.

I guess I'm just concerned because I'm only 20 - I haven't even had kids yet. And I want to someday. I don't want anything to get in the way of that.

Again, thanks for your encouraging post :)

If you do have it, dont let them pressure you into LEEP (can cause complications) until you fully research your options.

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.
