Colposcopy/biopsy/Endometrial Sampling

Hi,

I had all the above on Monday and was hoping someone could tell me if it's normal to be loosing bright red blood, when I sit on the toilet it runs out like a tap. I've been bleeding throughout the day, not too heavy and loosing clots, is this quite normal? I've read all the leaflets I was given and don't want to make a fuss but checking if this is normal.

Hope someone can help x

  • Did the nurse give u a leaflet with a number to call if any problems? When my son has an endoscopy, he got given one. It had a direct line number and the nurses were happy to chat at any time of day. 

  • Yes she did, I will call tomorrow morning, think I've just got myself a bit stressed, was hoping someone might have gone through the same as me and tell me it's quite normal and I could try and get some sleep  

    thank you for your reply, I'm very new to all this.

  • Hello and thanks for your post

    I’m sorry you are experiencing heavy bleeding following your procedure on Monday. It isn't unusual for bleeding to continue for up to a week or so afterwards but then things should start to settle.

    But as Exasperated stated it’s always a good idea to check this out at the hospital especially if the heavy bleeding continues. Hopefully, they will be able to reassure you.

    Please get back if you need to or  you are welcome to give us a call on 0808 800 4040, Mon-Fri 9-5p.m

    Best wishes,

    Celene
