Hi everyone - new here! I’m 53, in menopause and I had my LLETZ done 9 days ago. Had some discharge up until yesterday when I started bleeding. Phoned the hospital and was advised to go to A & E to be checked over. Spent all afternoon there yesterday. Saw gynae and they performed a chemical burn on the site of the wound as a precautionary measure. Blood tests came back clear, but they still prescribed antibiotics as a precautionary measure. However, I’m still bleeding. I am in menopause (I haven’t had a period for 3 years), but this bleed is like a period. Woke up this morning feeling quite tender in my lower tummy too. They also performed a pelvic examination yesterday and found a cyst on my right ovary, and have made me an appointment for an ultrasound scan for next Weds.
My original smear test came back with CIN1, low grade dyk. The LLETZ was performed not because of biospy results, but because they were unable to access my cervix due to being menopausal - I had been for a first colposcopy 8 weeks ago and was given Vagifem pessaries to try to open up the cervix, but it didn’t work, so they decided to do the LLETZ. Is it possible that the Vagifem hormones have upset my own hormones and am having a bleed like a period? Has anyone else experience this?
