I had LLETZ and Diathermy on Monday under a general anesthetic and today is the first day I have had some bleeding. Its not really heavy or anything but its thrown me as until now I have not had any bleeding. Is this normal? My period is also due in in few days and it is worrying me. My periods usually start fairly heavy and so how will I know when it is that or if its abnormal bleeding? It might sound stupid but I am terrified I am going to bleed to death if I can’t tell the difference. Also a lot of discharge and a metal type smell. Is that also normal? Also as a side note do you think I could have a glass of wine this evening?
Hi GemBobz
This all does sound very normal. Having the treatment can upset your cycle and it may be that this takes time to settle down. A general rule of thumb is that if you are filling a pad in an hour you should seek medical advice, Discharge and the smell are normal, and there would be no reason not to have a glass of wine! I hope you are feeling okay now. xx
