Subject: Bleeding long after LEEP normal?
Date: 04/23/2008

Hi! I am new here and am just looking for some input.

FYI. I have have a LEEP procedure just over a year ago after having an abnormal pap and a colp done. From the colp. the lab discovered that a had moderate and severve forms of dysplasia and was recommended to get a LEEP done right away. After talking to my parents i had the surgery which went great. I have gone through 2 check-up colps. and everything is looking pretty good except for one small area that is now starting to show moderate dysplasia although my paps are normal. My doc says it's nothing to really worry about just something to keep an eye on.

But anyways i have been experiencing bleeding during sex sometimes and have found it a little painful in some positions. Has anyone ever experienced this? Me and my bf have been together for my than 2 yrs but it makes me a little worrisome and uncomfortanble that this is happening. How long to it take to fully heal after surgery? Is this bleeding a normal thing?

How long have you had the bleeding after sex? That shouldn't be happening. Have you talked about this with your doctor? If the doctor is not taking you seriously, fire him.

I know I had a lot of complications from the LEEP, but I'm not bleeding, anymore.

Out of curiosity, have you seen all of the lab reports?

I just started seeing new Dr last week, and I had same question for him. I had cone biopsy using LEEP about year and a half ago, I myself get bleeding afterwards especially in specific positions. He told me it could happen after that type of procedure when the cervix gets touched. I also get really bad pain during sex again only in specific positions on my lower left side.

Oh I also have been getting abnormal paps since, and my new DR is doing further testing. So basically I would talk to your Dr. My Dr said could be happening due to cone biopsy now very sensitive and/or problems again.

He told me it could happen after that type of procedure when the cervix gets touched.

That's very discouraging news. My cervix has been terribly sensitive since the LEEP. I keep hoping that will change. Regardless, I'm happy you got a new doctor. Please make sure the new doctor shows you the lab reports, gives you a thorough discussion about the kind of dysplasia you have, where it's located, and if anything else is involved, and then gives you a detailed discussion about the risks and benefits of all your options. I keep saying knowledge is power, and it is. Informed decisions are critical.

Is there anyone who can also go with you? Even if that person just holds your hand, it sure would make a difference.

P, S. Melissa1, I'll definitely talk to my doctor about the cervical sensitivity. Right now, I can't bear to have anything in there because it hurts.

Oh, I forgot to mention that I saw the lab report, after my follow-up PAP smear, and it was normal. But at the time, I complained about the cervical sensitivity, and my doctor felt badly, but didn't know what to say. But I will definitely bring it up, again, as I seem to have had only complications from the LEEP. I have a feeling your new doctor was right about this being a result of the LEEP.

Complications from a LEEP as well as sensitivity on the cervix during sex due to a LEEP procedure is VERY VERY VERY unusual and RARE!  I would question who did your LEEP and how much was removed.  No more then 3-5mm of tissue should be removed from the tranformation zone during a LEEP and if more was removed then I would certainly question why!    That is ashame and I would be questioning my gyno/oncologist left and right about that! I do hope you had a gyno/oncologist due this and not just a regular gyno.
