cervical stenosis

[redmaggie]

Hello, I'm 62, I'm interested about cancer risk as I am a DES daughter. I had a couple of gynae ops which resulted in complete cervical stenosis for the last 8 years. I have had 2 u/s scans - in 2016 and in 2018 showing endometrial thickness of 4.4mm and 6.6mm respectively. I've not had any other tests. We are told to look out for bleeding symptoms (for cancer) but since stenosis precludes that, should I be concerned?
BTW only taking ovestin cream for the last 3 years.
Thank you!

DES daughters are unfortunately at increased risk of rare cancers of the cervix and vagina. Monitoring is really in the form of smears and colposcopy rather than just a pelvic scan. If not having these done, it would be worth speaking to your doctor.
