Question 1

had a leep procedure on feb 22nd period is now two weeks late(feb 28) and i have had a neg pregnant test ?

Accepted Answer

Delayed Menses: It is not unusual to have a delayed period after any surgical procedure as this is a form of "stress" to your body. There are other possible causes of a delayed period aside from a pregnancy. I would recommend waiting for a few more weeks and repeating the pregnancy test then. If it still does not come, go see your doctor.

Question 2

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 3

had a leep procedure done a week and a half ago and just got my period. it's a lot heavier and lasting longer. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

It's ok: I'm not sure if this period was early or at the expected time.  Either way I think you could consider this normal.   The cervical lesion created by leep is healing at 10 days. The accompanying hormone changes and blood associated with menses could easily lead to a heavier and longer period.  Bleeding is expected for 4+ weeks after LEEP. However, if the amount of bleeding concerns you, call you Doc

Question 4

my period us 30 days late. i had a leep procedure on october 20th. i had intercourse 4 weeks after having this procedure. i had sex on my ovulation ?

Accepted Answer

Some thoughts...: Pregnancy is the most common cause of a missed period. If not pregnant, other causes of a late or missed period include:  excessive weight loss or weight gain, increased exercising, emotional stress, having an illness, traveling, medicines (especially birth control pills), hormonal disorders, etc…  A visit to one’s Ob-Gyn doctor is a good idea if symptoms are persistent, recurring, or worrisome.

Question 5

my period has changed drastically this year. it was always heavy and with debilitating cramps. the past 3 cycles have been very light, no cramps... it changed after a leep procedure done back in january. i shouldn't complain. but it is strange. ?

Accepted Answer

Periods: A LEEP procedure involves removing the top layer from the outside of the cervix. It should not have an effect on menstrual cycles. If you are unhappy with your level of menstrual cycle control consider seeing an Obgyn and discussing options for cycle regulation

Question 6

why am i having such painful periods months after leep procedure?

Accepted Answer

Not related: The leep procedure is done on the outside of the cervix. This  would not impact periods. Discuss treatment options for painful periods with your obgyn. The medical term is dysmenorrhea.

Question 7

i had the leep proceudre done in november and have had a normal period up unil last month. now im spotting and then starting my period is this normai?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Periods sometimes don't start like a on/off switch to a faucet. The endometrium begins to break down and spotting may result before the full flow starts.

Question 8

i had a leep in july and bled right after for about two weeks then stopped for one and bled for a week but have not had a period since. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Leep: Sometimes after a stressor like a Leep your periods can become irregular and it is not unusual to miss a period or two.  Things should straighten themselves out.  If they don't in another month I would see your GYN for evaluation.

Question 9

i had a leep done on march 15 of this year. the week after, i spotted(barely anything) for 7 days. now its may 8 and i have not had my period. is this?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you had sex since your leep, do a home pregnancy test. If the result is negative repeat the test 4-5 days later unless you get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully. If you miss your May period also, it would be time to consult your doctor.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 10

i had a leep 2 1/2 weeks ago, i started my period, can i use tampons?

Accepted Answer

PLEASE ASK YOUR DOC: Only your doc can answer this as your doc may or may not allow tampons at 2 1/2  weeks you can call your doc on the  weekend as your doc should be on call or have someone covering for him or her 24/7.
