Hi guys , I have recently had surgery for lletzz procedure for pre cancerous cells 4 weeks ago , 3 days ago I got told there is also cancer cells present , so I'm waiting for scans to see staging and treatment etc , I'm having some cramping and pain in that area , like a rough period pain .... I no there is no normal and without staging its hard to tell but is this sort of normal? Is there a problem that needs sorting ASAP or is this a typical symptom ... please help put my mind at ease a little bit
Hi Cerrys19
I’d say it’s very normal to experience this type of pain, both because you’ve had the LLETZ treatment and you have had a cancer diagnosis which will affect you both mentally and physically. When you see your consultant, they should ask you about your pain and symptoms so it’s an opportunity to discuss it then.
As you had your LLETZ 4 weeks ago, it’s less likely to be an infection now, but signs to watch out for in particular would be a raised temperature and a smelly discharge. Usually an infection would happen in the immediate period after a LLETZ, but it’s useful to be aware of the possibility.
