Bleeding after sex after LLETZ

I had the LLETZ procedure six weeks ago and had sex with my partner after the recommended wait of 4 weeks. There was some light bleeding the morning after then it became heavier the following two days before stopping. Six days later I noticed some light spotting again. It stopped and we had sex again, but today ive had some heavier bleeding. Is it a sign of infection or a sign that my cervix hasn't healed? I want to be able to be intimate with my partner. I'm also on the mini pill and do not know if it's related to that. I'd be grateful for any advice. 

  • Hello and thank you for your post,

    I am sorry to hear about your situation.

    The bleeding could be a sign of infection or that healing has not yet completed. So the best thing to do is either get back in touch with the colposcopy unit or you ask your GP for advice.

    You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,

    Caroline
