Hi everyone, 

i had lletz procedure done in my cervix almost 2 days ago and I've since been EXTREMELY bloated but just the lower part of my stomach, kinda where the uterus is, a very weird looking bloat like I've neverrr had before! 
anyone else had this?? Was not told of this side effect at all so wondering if it's normal?? Even 3 sizes larger sweatpants hurt to put on! It's like an American football ball below my belly button only! :confused:

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    Feeling bloated after a lletz procedure is not a common symptom. But people can vary in the side effects they experience.

    Hopefully, it will settle down over the next couple of days but if it doesn’t the best thing to do is to speak to your doctor about this. They can prescribe you some medication that will hopefully help with this symptom.

    I hope things improve for you soon. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,

    Celene
