Question 1

what is considered normal bleeding after a leep procedure?

Accepted Answer

Less than a period: Mild spotting or bleeding like a light period might be normal. Bleeding with clots or as much or more than a period would not likely be normal, and you should check with your doctor.

Question 2

is bright red bleeding and cramping common after a leep procedure done a week ago?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The cervix has to have a chance to heal and some bleeding and cramping are normal.    Under no circumstances should you have anything in your vagina (including tampons) until your physicians says it's ok.    If you have heavy bright red bleeding flowing like that of a period, that would be too heavy after a leep.

Question 3

i just had monsels solution put on my cervix two days ago, i had a large brown chunk come out and now i'm bleeding again. is this normal? i'm 2 weeks post op after a leep procedure?

Accepted Answer

: I assume the monsel solution was applied 2 days ago because you still had bleeding after a LEEP 2 weeks ago. Now, a necrotic tissue or clot is broke off so bleeding recurs from the exposed wound. You can observe the bleeding at this time and it should slow down and stop in a day or so if the surgical wound is healing. However, if bleeding gets heavier by next day then call your GYN doc for advice.

Question 4

i had a leep procedure a week ago and just started bleeding.  is this normal and how long will it possibly last?

Accepted Answer

A "LEEP" of faith..: .. says the bleeding is probably related to the procedure.  After all, it is designed to remove tissue from the cervix - sometimes the lacerated part will scab over and then break loose after a time - could be a week - especially if progesterone is enhancing the cervical bogginess/ thickness.

Question 5

had a leep procedure done and just had sex after 3 weeks and now am bleeding is it ok?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: first of all I always told my females after leep or conization not to have intercourse for 6 weeks.  post-operatively that area of your cervix needs to heal.  sort of like having a scab on your knee from falling.  as it is healing you hit it again and it bleeds easier than normal skin would.  same thing with your cervix.  also could this be your period?

Question 6

i had a leep procedure 11 days ago & started bleeding about 5 days ago. its more than a period. walking around i can feel myself bleeding. normal?

Accepted Answer

No. : The bleeding after a LEEP is usually pretty light - lighter than a period. Probably best to go back to the doctor who performed the procedure. Hope this helps.

Question 7

had a leep procedure done 9 days ago. had no bleeding the 1st 3 days, then light spotting for the past 6 days. how long is it normal to have spotting?

Accepted Answer

Varies: might have spotting for up to 2-3 weeks

Question 8

had a leep procedure done 3 weeks ago and now im bleeding and cramping is  this normal?

Accepted Answer

Cycle?: Could you be having your regular cycle? If not, i would most certainly be seen as your bleeding from the procedure should have been gone long ago.

Question 9

i know that i can't  have penetrative sex for 4-6 weeks after lletz/leep procedure, but what about clitoral orgasm? have had no bleeding or pain

Accepted Answer

I&#x27;d abstain: The reason I wouldn&#x27;t attempt a clitoral orgasm is that is can cause contractions of your uterus and vagina which  is close to where they performed the surgery. This could cause bleeding and disruption of any sutures, or scar tissue that could be present. I would also ask your Gynecologist who performed this surgery. Good luck

Question 10

had a leep procedure done last week. should i be worried that i am bleeding very heavily and having big blood clots?

Accepted Answer

GET Seen: A leep procedure is an invasive surgery of the cervix using a 'hot loop of wire' to literally carve out an abnormal pre-cancerous area.  Severe  post-operative (post-op) bleeding from any surgery can be serious--so it is best to get seen. Perhaps a 'clot fell off 'or an artery got eroded.  I had a 1 week post-op patient (from cervix cryo) develop artery bleeding which had to be fixed quickly.
