7 weeks post LLETZ and I'm starting to have on/off spotting with slight pain in pelvis - is this normal?

Hi, 

I am 7 weeks post LLETZ to a depth of 15mm, I have only had brief results, after me chasing for these. Which are that my case needs to go to MDT, as they think there are cells higher in the cervical canal and my margins need to be discussed.

Now I did not bleed after my procedure, at all! Slight discharge, but zero bleeding. 
however, now 7 weeks post procedure I am beginning to have on off spotting, mainly in the AM, pinkish in colour, sometimes with red specs, with slight discomfort in the pelvis area at times.

is this something to be concerned about? 

  • Hello Redpanda2026

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had a LLETZ procedure and that you're still waiting for the results. It's understandable that this might be a worrying time for you. 

    You mention in your post that this spotting you're experiencing is a new issue and that you didn't have any issues after the procedure. It would seem sensible to contact your GP or the hospital team about this spotting and discomfort, so that they can arrange to see you if needed. And of course, to hopefully offer you some reassurance and an update on the next steps in your care. 

    If it would help to chat with one of our nurses at any point, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. 

    Let us know how you get on Redpanda2026. We're here for you.
