Discharge after treatment

Hi everyone, I just want to get other people’s experiences on vaginal discharge after treatment. Is this normal or should I be worried?

I know that discharge is a symptom of cervical cancer but thought it would go away after treatment. This doesn’t seem to be the case for me. Has anyone else have any experiences or advice they can share?

  • Hi  

    Discharge can be completely normal after treatment and last for quite a time. When is your next check up due? I’d bring it up just to get some reassurance, or you could give your CNS a call for a chat if you’re concerned, and not due for a check up soon. If it looks strange or smells odd, I’d ask for a swab just to make sure there’s no infection there. 

    I still have a small amount of discharge, which I wasn’t aware would still happen, despite having my vagina removed but I was told by my consultant and my gp that this was normal.
