I had two cone procedures the first one was done by my regular gyno the second by the gyno oncologist. When it was done by the "expert" I had very little bleeding and no pain but with the first was there was just some cramping and clots of the stuff the use to stop the bleeding (which hardens and kinda hurts when it comes out). Overall it was not a bad experience. It has been over two years and the HPV has totally disappeared and no cancer cells are present. I wish you the best.
