  • Hi Tracey

    I am not a nurse and I know that this is in the ask a nurse section, but just in case they dont get to this until later tomorrow, I would contact your gp in the morning.  I had a similar procedure many years ago and developed a pelvic infection afterwards, if it is that it is easily sorted out with antibiotics, but it shouldnt be left otherwise its a lot harder to clear up.

    Regards

    My infection started about 4 days after the procedure, started with general sore stomach, then became very swollen, pain in lower back, i tried ignoring it, ended up with temp and feeling sick.  I left it too long and ended up with 2 courses of antibiotics, before it cleared up.

    Hope that the doctor can sort it out quickly for you.

    Regards

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    You do need to make prompt contact with the colposcopy unit, or else your GP. You may have an infection, or a small area that is still bleeding a little.

    You can ring NHS 111 also for further medical advice, out of hours.

    Unfortunately, this forum is not the best place to seek urgent medical advice.

    I hope that you get this sorted out soon,

    Best wishes,

    Vanda
