What Does Swelling And Redness Of Pelvic Area Indicate?

Hi! I recently went to the health dept for a pelvic exam and pap. I was told I had swelling and redness at the left of a previous scar for pre cancer and they did cryotherapy twice to get rid of cin1 cells. I recently had also been diagnosed with Diverticulitis. I have noticed when I strained to have a bowle movement occassionally i saw spotting blood. I have had a complete hysterectomy and have nothing inside anymore but those cervical cells showed up on the vaginal wall which I have been told is very rare. My question is does the red spots and swelling and light spotting mean I have cancer now?

These symptoms and examination findings need to be evaluated further with a punch biopsy of the affected area to rule out malignancy (cancer).
Please discuss it with your doctor.
