Hi....I am have been having bad night sweats for at least couple of years and have now started losing weight and my skin gets quite itchy sometimes...also had unexplained bruising on my leg from the itching and am always very tired....have results from colposcopy and have CIN3 changes also which i'll be getting LLetz treatment for.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
You have mentioned multiple problems and each one has to be tackled separately.
The presence of CIN 3 on Pap smear should be followed by cervical biopsy.
CIN 3 is a pre-neoplastic condition and biopsy is required to look for invasive carcinoma.
If carcinoma is detected, cervical cone biopsy or hysterectomy may be required.
If no carcinoma is detected, a close follow up will be required.
You need to see a gynecologist for this.

Night sweats, loss of weight and tiredness are characteristically seen in tuberculosis.
However, a definitive diagnosis can be made only after clinical assessment and relevant investigations.
You need to see a physician for these symptoms.

Itchiness can be seen in skin lesions like skin dryness, dermatitis, fungal infection or metabolic disorder like elevated bilirubin, etc.
You need to see a physician for this.

Unexplained bruising on the leg can be due to platelet disorder or connective tissue disorder.

Again you need to consult a physician for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and thus management.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja P Wahal
