Bleeding after WLE

Offline Cazzy67 3 months ago

Hi, I had my WLE yesterday on my right breast at 1pm and came home with dressing which had a small amount of blood on it at 6pm.. I am concerned that the dressing is now soaked in blood (still contained in dressing). As it is Saturday I am not sure who I would contact to have this checked. Or is this ok to leave?

Anyone with any experience of this?

Thanks Carole

Hello Carole

Our nurse team isn't available at weekends so I just wanted to reply to say that if your WLE site it still giving you cause for concern please do ring NHS 111 for advice and support.

I hope that things have settled overnight.

Best wishes,
