I had a lletz procedure last Thursday.
The doctor just did it without really explaining anything. She said even though my cervix looks healthy she had to go deep to take biopsy as that’s what the MDT meeting asked her to do.
During the procedure I bleed a lot and the two nurses present were counting how many packing she used to make sure they got it all out.
8 days after I’ve been to toilet and a large lump of tissue falls out of me. I phone my doctors nurses help line to check and the reply was can you put your finger up to see if you can feel anymore? Well surely that would cause risk of infection??
Just loosing all confidence in this professionals and worried I have to trust them !
Hi SuzieP
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe you were told to do that! Absolutely that’s an infection risk for you when you’ve had a biopsy and packing in there. Have they told you to go back to the clinic so you can be checked properly?
We need to have faith in those we are putting our trust in and something like this really shakes your confidence. Are you feeling ok in yourself? No high temperature or discharge or anything like that which might indicate an infection from anything left behind?
I’m sorry you had an experience like this-the whole procedure is stressful enough without adding to it.

Hi
The wait for results is just horrible for everyone. I’m glad you’re feeling ok physically, but still what happened wasn’t right. I’ve waited varying times over the years for results and it never gets any easier, but hopefully it might not be too long for you now. Please keep us posted and good luck.
