Post LLETZ

Hi 

I  had an abnormal smear test in March, it took 8 weeks from test to getting the results, I was sent for a biopsy which came back high grade cells but was told by the hospital they aren’t sure as the test was inconclusive so it was graded as high grade, I had my LLETZ on the 2nd of July and I have a 6 week wait for the biopsy results from the LLETZ which was sent as urgent. 

Post LLETZ I’m okay just really tired and for some reason I have constipation and hip pain, I’m now dealing with the wait of the biopsy results, I was wondering if constipation is a normal reaction after the procedure. 

  • Hi Liz, 

    I noticed you hadn't had a reply yet Liz so I just wanted to quickly pop by and welcome you to the forum.

    I'm sure some of our members who have had constipation after their LLETZ procedure will share their experiences with you soon but if you'd like to have a chat about this with our cancer nurses you can give them a call next week on 0808 800 4040. They're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I hope you start feeling better soon Liz and wish you all the best with your biopsy results. 

    Kind regards,
