Hi,
I don’t yet know if I have cancer as awaiting results from biopsy which I had on Wednesday
my question is about after effects - I had very little bleeding after the procedure but I’m still getting cramps.
is that normal?
Thank you for any advice
Hi Always_hopeful
Everyone’s experience is different but what you’ve described is the same as what I had. A small amount of bleeding and cramps for a few days after. I took paracetamol when needed but it wasn't very often.
Obviously if you're worried or the cramps get worse, speak to your GP.
Good luck with your recovery and results… the waiting is always the worse.

Thank you. The leaflet didn’t mention the cramps lasting more than a day so I was concerned - thanks for sharing your experience
