Lletz procedure

I had 2 positive smear tests for the hpv virus I then had a biopsy taken which came up as  Cin2 so they discussed it with the team and said I was too have the lletz treatment that was on Monday last week what an experience that was my womb wall kept collapsing so had to have the spectrum put in and out quite a few times the ladies assisting couldn't fault them lovely 

I didn't get much bleeding I'm on day 8 can feel a little pulling now and then and some watery discharge so having to wear a pad 

With not being able to have a bubble bath I just don't feel clean ?? 

I'm waiting for the results I was told 6 to 8 weeks 

  • Hi Mich and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry to hear of the difficulties that arose during your LLETZ but I'm glad it was able to be completed and your recovery is going well.

    As you'll see on our website, the side effects you're currently experiencing are quite common after having this treatment but if you're worried and would like to discuss this further with one of our nurses, you can do so on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. 

    I hope this information I've found on Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust about the procedure will help to ease your mind as well.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had this treatment will stop by soon to share their experiences and advice, but in the meantime, we are here for you Mich and will have our fingers crossed for a good outcome in 6 - 8 weeks time.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
