Polyps removed and I’m still bleeding wow

Hi on November 4th 2020. I had my outpatient appointment to have what I was told was 2polyps removed under general anaesthesia I think that's the word anyway all went well when I came out of. Recovery surgeon came to me and said I actually had. Quiet a few polyps not just two as told prior anyway he said don't worry we managed to get them all and not to worry recovery is usually two weeks nurse told me to rest and take painkillers if nessesary  anyway was fine first week or two bleeding got heavy I ended up in A and E as clotting was very large and bleeding heavy then they gave me transexamic acid to take slow bleeding down which it did but now 3months later I'm still bleeding only break I've had is a week so f no bleeding that's the longest and otherwise I'm only off for no less then 4 to 5 days I'm so drained I'm already suffering from anemia so that don't help my situation to make me feel better the go said because I had quiet a few removed that I should expect to feel the way I do and bleed for a while as usually people have alone or two and I had a lot and that my womb has been manipulated so my hormones are all over the place and to expect that and it will get better but I'm just so annoyed that it's taken so long  biopsy came back as no abnormalities found that's good but what should I do I'm just currently waiting and taking these pills and I really don't want to reply on them to be honest any advice will be greatly appreciated

  • Hello UniqueClaire46

    I'm sorry to hear that you're dealing with continued bleeding after your recent biopsies. It's understandable that you're feeling frustrated and tired. 

    I'm sure that it was a relief to hear that there were no abnormalities found in the biopsies and hopefully things will settle but in the meantime please do get back in touch with your GP and let them know how you're feeling. They will be best placed to help you with this and if things don't settle they can arrange any appropriate appointments. 

    I do hope that things improve for you soon. 

    Best wishes,

  • Thanks jenn I do keep my doctors updated they only said they will send me for a blood test to see if my iron level has dropped which I'm sure it has and also asked if inhale any abdominal pain or swelling which I don't I get very minor cramps sometimes not always but before my operation my period pain used to be excruciating so that's a bonus  I do just hope things get back to normal for me soon thanks a lot .
