After lletz

Cervical cancer post treatment and side effects
1

hi I have had lletz treatment on Monday I am getting the depo injection as contraception so I don't have periods 

I was told I would feel a bit of cramp, but the cramp is really bad I have been taking paracetamol and using hot water bottle, is the strong cramp feeling normal or should I speak to gp???

Hi, I had a second LLETZ done almost 2 weeks ago now and also had terrible cramping, accompanied by back pain. I went to the gp and turns out I had an Infection, so I would say pop into ur drs, mine took a swab and prescribed antibiotics and strong painkillers. xx

This is critical stuff we are all having to deal with so always report unusual, New, or increasing discomfort and/or pain. I know we sometimes think we are being silly or that we are bothering GP and staff, but they need to know.

I thought I had hurt my middle knuckle...finally went to GP. He immediately had xrays done of my hand. Dx: chemo or cancer induced osteoarthritis. Now taking glucosamine sulfate 500mg 3xDay. Will add chondroitin when starting next bottle.

Point is that we don't know just how serious a pain is...just because we can live with it...

Take care.

Hi thank you guys I have now got rid of the horrible cramp 

I have not been to the doctor but should I still go if I am bleeding 

as I said before I am on depo injection and have not had period for 8 plus years

and I didn't think I would bleed should this be something I need to talk to doctor 

about or am I being paranoid? 

Xx

You may or may not be paranoid, just like the rest of us. lol ;-)

Please discuss your concerns. If doctor ignores you, suggest you see gyno or other healthcare specialist.

Many of us have been there, so don't apologize. Who else are you going to discuss this with? I was so happy when my discharge turned pink. And then clear (lymph), and then stopped. Hope yours does soon.

Hugs, Katie

Hello Martha thanks for replying 

yesterday I stopped bleeding and now just little bits of yellow 

watery discharge so thinking may have healed,

i know they suggest no sex until after 4 weeks

bit my nurse said can have sex when belong has stopped 

do you think if I do have intercourse it will make things worse?

 

thanks mel x
