No period after trachelectomy

Hello

I had a radical Trachelectomy with centinal node removal 6 weeks ago. I have not had a period since. Yesterday and today I have been in excruciating pain. Still no bleeding. Its a Saturday so no GP, 111 is overwhelmed. I have codeine which I was sent home with post surgery. 

Should I just keep up the strong painkillers or is something wrong? 

I'm concerned if the opening has sealed and I cannot get rid of the build up that it will cause infection etc?

  • Hello Dodge1990 and thanks for posting, 

    I am sorry not to have been able to get back to you sooner, but hope that since you posted you have been able to get some medical advice about what is causing this pain and are feeling more comfortable.

    I expect you know that it is best to get any new pain that is getting worse after surgery properly assessed - I appreciate that the timing on a Bank Holiday was the issue for you. Unfortunately we can't make an assessment. I think some some input from the gynaecology team who undertook your trachelectomy would probably be ideal, as Lucie says, hopefully you were given a contact point at the hospital and have managed to get hold of someone. 

    I do hope things are better for you now. 

    If you ever want to call us to talk anything over please do, our number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are here weekdays (not BHs) 9-5.

    Wishing you the best,

    Julia
