Subject: Had a LEEP...10 days later serious bleeding... Author: Tracie (freaked!) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Sunday, August 27, 02:23:06am Author Host/IP: 210.92.111.131 This is the very first time ever that I've used a chat room/blog group thing.... I'm 27 and found out I have HPV w/ severe Dysplasia and Carcinoma In Situ. I had the LEEP done on 8/18 and had some bleeding since. Now, 10 days later, I have more severe (still less than period heavy flow), bright red, bleeding. Is this normal??? I feel okay, but I have been having intermittent, major pain in the whole right side of my head (skull, brain, face, and neck) (maybe this is unrelated?) I appreciate the support!

I would advise that if you are worried about it, call your doctor and let him/her know what is happening. It is normal to have bleeding following the procedure, and a discharge can last for up to six weeks. That said, my doc told me after my leep that sometimes it is a week later that a woman can have alot of bleeding. Typically they say to get concerned if you are soaking a pad an hour, if there is an odor and if you are having stomach pain. But, my inner voice always says "call if you're worried". I wonder if the area is releasing the scab, causing a bit more blood to appear? I don't know if your other pain would be related to the bleeding. Call your doc or nurse and give them a heads up. He/she may want to examine you, or he/she may ease your concerns. I hope this helps a little :)
