Hi and thank you so much for this query. I am so sorry to hear about this wound on your cervix. I very much doubt if it is the same wound that was there 5years ago. Beside being told that you have this wound, do you have any symptoms like pains during intercourse, spotting after intercourse, any vaginal discharge? These are going to be very helpful at establishing whether you have any infection that could have been discovered only during an incidental vaginal procedure. If you were my patient, i would want to take a sample and send to the lab for testing and to make sure that i identify the exact cause of this. I will also want to see you after the course of treatment to make sure that the wound has been completely treated. Depending on what the outcomes are, specific plans would be presented to you. I am happy to hear that you recent pap smear showed no abnormality. However, if this chronic cervix infection, please note that it is a risk factor for cervical cancer and reason why you should address this finding fully. I will also like you to always try using protection during intercourse to avoid any sexual transmitted infections unless otherwise. Congratulations on taking control of you reproductive life already by using the IUD. I hope this helps. Talk to your doctor and propose that he gets yo properly tested and should check for proof of cure after treatment. Thanks and wish you well. Dr. Ditah, MD
