Loop excision gone wrong?

[Tazzybell]

Hi all, I had a cervical loop excision performed 8 weeks ago.
  I got an infection 2 days after having the procedure, and spent 3 days in and out of the hospital trying to convince them that something was wrong, as I don't normally look 4 months pregnant, or live with a constant pain in my lower abdomen. I finally got that sorted out, with some strong painkillers, and antibiotics.....
   The thing that I'm worried about, is that I'm still bleeding reasonably heavily on and off, and have been since the start really. I could put some of it down to my regular period, but what about the rest of the time???
   I've been back to my gynocolgist, who has examined me, and showed me that the wound appears to be healing reasonably well, considering the fact that I have a disorder that means I heal slower and less effectively than 90% of the population. He assured me that everything was okay, but as is always my luck, I wasn't bleeding the morning I went to see him, so I couldn't show him that I wasn't making it up (which I'm sure he thought).
   Has anyone had any similar experiences, and could someone please, please, please point me in the right direction for proper help with this.

Yes, I understand that all of what you wrote can happen, however, I have pretty much constant bleeding, which has lasted for the interim between the proceeduce and now. This is what I am worried about, as it should have at least eased up by now.

Although the bleed is significant, it is not so much that I require a transfusion, or a vaginal pack, so I need more ideas if you have them.

The ones you provided are great, but no help, I'm sorry :(

You can have following symptoms post your procedure...

- Mild cramping may occur for several hours after the procedure.
- A dark brown vaginal discharge during the first week is normal.
- Vaginal discharge or spotting may occur for about 3 weeks.
- Sanitary napkins should be used instead of tampons for about 3 weeks.
- Sexual intercourse should be avoided for about 3 weeks.
- Douching should not be done.

Following are the rare risks associated with this procedure:

- After the surgery, a small number of women (less than 10%) may have significant bleeding that requires vaginal packing or a blood transfusion.
- Infection of the cervix or uterus may develop (rare).
- Narrowing of the cervix (cervical stenosis) that can cause infertility may occur (rare).
- Once a woman has had LEEP, she has a higher risk of delivering a baby early.
