Bleeding 10 weeks post LLETZ

Hi, 

I had LLETZ 10 weeks ago. I bled for the first 4 weeks and then it just kind of stopped. I’ve had a couple of smaller bleeds since then but wasn’t sure if they were periods or not (I have a coil so haven’t actually had a period for years!). I started bleeding again over the weekend and it feels very similar to after the procedure, accompanied by the stabbing pain I was getting in my abdomen and I’m very tired. Again, not sure if it’s a ‘period’ or something I should be concerned about? Is it normal to start bleeding again like this after so long? There’s no obvious sign of infection but I have been having a heavy discharge so I’m not sure if everything is a little unbalanced down there. 

Is it normal to bleed again so long after the treatment?

Thanks,

Louise

    I am sorry to hear about the bleeding you are experiencing. Unfortunately no one here can say if this is linked to the LLETZ procedure you had done or something else.

    Everyone is different and there could be a number of reasons for this to happen so I suggest speaking with your doctor so they can assess you further.

    I hope you get some answers soon and that the bleeding settles down.

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  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
