Ok, I might be over reacting but this stuff is scary.
It has been 5 weeks since I had Leep, uterin ablation, & my tubes tied. I was never told before the surgery that I might have discharge for up to 8 weeks after the ablation. Well, I know now. I can deal with that but 1 week after i was having dark bleeding, cramps & had to change my pad every hour or two. So I called the nurse she told me that was normal. Now it has been 5 weeks & I started bleeding just the same as before a few days ago. I am kinda freakin out. So I called the nurse & told her what was going on she spoke to the Dr. & called me back. She told me the Dr. Said that because I had the balloon ablation this is normal & she wants me to take birth control pills to try & stop the bleeding & if it does stop in a week to call back.
I am no Dr. but I just don't feel that is right.
I have not been pleased with the treatment I have gotten from my Dr. since after I had my surgeries. At my 3 week check up she gave me the pictures of the inside of my uterus & cervix, come to find out I have two small polyps in my uterus. As far as I was informed an ablation is only recomended for a healthy uterus & polyps my cause bleeding problems. So I am wondring why my Dr. would have done the ablation after seeing the polyps & before the ablation was done? She also told me that the biopsy from the leep still had CIN 1. Another thing I am wondering is at my 3 week check up she told me to come back in 6 months for my regular pap. I thought I was supposed to go back after 3 months. In fact I was told by a family member that had a leep done that her Dr. said it is a law in Washington that women that have the leep done should be seen 3 months after. I am not sure if that is true though. Do you know?
On top of every thing I am having trouble with my medical insurance & am not currently covered.
