Hi YellowRedBlue and thank you for your post.

I am sorry to learn that you needed to have your cervix cauterised for cervical ectropion.

Experiencing a light, pale, or clear discharge rather than brown discharge can be normal.

Everyone heals a little bit differently. The light, clear discharge you have noticed can still be part of the normal healing process. It does not mean the treatment has not worked.

The "brown" colour often mentioned is just older blood. The lack of it can simply mean that  you haven't had any minor bleeding in the area, which is a positive sign.

As long as you are not having heavy bleeding, strong pain, or a bad smell from the discharge, there is usually no need to worry.

If you are unsure or your symptoms change, you can  speak to your GP or nurse for advice.

I hope the rest of your recovery is uneventful.

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

It might help to talk things through with one of our nurses on the helpline. You can call for free on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Kind regards

Tina
