918708
I had a leep on Sept 14. After the procedure, I had the black paste stuff come out of me, the bleeding for about two and a half weeks. I even had a couple of blood clots one of those days. I also had the pieces of tissue that look came from my cervix come out and I ask my OB/GYN was it normal he said it was and that it should subside. At my checkup which was two weeks after the actual procedure, they checked my cervix and he told me they got all of the abnormal cells out. I was so happy I cried that whole day, but I knew God had me. Now it has been a month and a couple of weeks since the procedure and I am doing great. No pain or anything. Hope this helps.

I dont know what it could be but you should ask to see a different gyno- get on a medical plan because 5 months does seem a little too long too be bleeding like that. be careful you dont become anemic. Is there someone else that works there that would be more helpful?

Not really. When I got mine done, it swelled up for a few days, but never really bled.

Okay, I'll bite.\n\nNo, it doesn't all come out at once, and it's not a steady stream either.  It's more like spurts.  Some days are heavy, some days are not.  You usually have a heavier flow during the first few days of menstruation, then it kind of tapers off.

I LOVE the mirena.  I had similar complications, and read a few of the published medical studies (on PubMed).  It made me feel a lot better after finding out that most women had spotting and that over 30% stopped having normal periods entirely within about a year.  That would be worrisome except for the 99.9% effectiveness. (They don't call it reversible sterilization for nothing!)

That all depends on the amount of bleeding. If it is a profuse bleed it can be as fast as minutes or hours but if it is a slow bleed the time period may be much longer. This question should be referred to a healthcare professional familiar with the particluar case.

Why is everybody making it sounds really horrible? It really isn't that bad. I was also scared the first time I had to go in, but the most I would describe it is 'a little unpleasant'. \n\nBtw, I didn't have to stand there buck naked, in fact, I got to keep my shirt on and there was a sheet covering my lower regions. Then the gynae inserted her fingers in for the internal exam. Afterwards came the duck lips thingy, but it didn't hurt as they had the lubricants on and I barely felt the swabbing. Some people will have light bleedings afterwards, but thank God I didn't.\n\nMaybe everyone has it differently, but trust me, if you can live through penetrative sex, then you can most definitely survive the gynae exam. \n\nAnyway, you can tell your gynae beforehand that this is your first time and let them know if you feel uncomfortable during the procedure. I'm sure they will try to make it as painless as possible. Hope this help.

I had a lumpectomy in April and I can tell you at first there isn't all that much draining. But when I was home it did drain. You have to measure the fluid and write it down to show to the doctor. When it get to a point where he wants it the drains come out. \nIf you need more info email me and I will be happy to answer your questions. Help your mom where you can , she will get though this like many of us.

Get yourself to a doctor! Please don't let shyness scare you off. There is probably a free clinic in your area and I suggest you take advantage of it. If not, try a Planned Parenthood. You say your discharge has blood in it? While it's normal to have discharge between periods and even something called breakthrough bleeding, having discharge with blood and pain is not normal.\n\nPID(pelvic inflammatory disease), gonorrhea(an STD), yeast infection, bacterial infection, ovarian cysts, bladder infection, endometriosis, even cancer can cause your symptoms.\n\nPlease please go to a doctor. Your reproductive health and you life could depend on it. Good luck

I would call your OB/GYN or family doctor.  I just had one inserted on Tuesday and I'm bleeding heavily with clots.  Kinda scary.  I hope your o.k. but the only way you will know is if you call someone who specializes in this area!

Hi Matthew!\n\nYou emailed me before, and I was just about to respond to your email (I never took it out of my in-box!  I didn't forget you!), but I just logged on to Yahoo! Answers (after a few months of being away) and saw your question here! So, I thought I would answer it here so others could see it too!\n\nYes, it hurts / "burns" a little, but it is so quick, it's like ripping off a band-aid.  AND YOU WILL FEEL SO MUCH BETTER AFTER THEY ARE OUT, that you will forget the pain within a minute.  \n\nMy drains were about 5 to 6 inches long....they were plastic....and they kinda looked like a plastic straw with a little "fanned shape" thing on the end.  I think there were holes both on the straw part and the fan part.  What makes them so uncomfortable is the fact that you basically have an inflexible piece of plastic sticking across your abs!\n\nDo not worry about the drains being removed....it is quick.  Good luck with your surgery....I hope your experience is as good as mine was!!!

I have had this done.When you go in they will show you a movie about Dysphlasia { not sure if I spelled it rite but you know what i mean}and how they remove it. What will happen if they do not get it all or it comes back.I know that you are scared.I was terrified.But remeber they caught it early which means chances are they will get it all the first time. As for the Leep it's self honestly it's not fun.But they do freeze the effected area before they do it.What I found more uncomfortable was having the freezing needles put in.I had some  cramping after that lasted about 3 days.I just took Motrin for it. I had to go back every 6 month for 2 years to have Biopsies taken just to be sure it did not come back. I now make sure that I never miss my pap.Good Luck if you need to talk feel free to e-mail me. Hope this helps some.

Which IUD do you have? Its very normal to have abnormal bleeding after the insertion of your IUD. It may take 3 months for your body to get back on track. I would get it checked out at your appointment. Have you tried feeling for your strings? what makes you think it has fallen out. You should feel a knot at the top of your strings right before your cervix. If you feel that knot then the IUD is in place if you dont then it has gone further in your uterus and possibly perforation but you would be in pain and would have a hard time moving in certain positions\nIs the bleeding spotting or are you having to change your pad every 2 hours?

it will eventually fill up with scar tissue, just stick to the same doctors who did the procedure, they may ask you to follow with a wound specialist nurse too, good luck

No you shouldn't worry!!!  Im not a doctor, but I have inquired about vaginal fluids from my OB/GYN.  He stated that every womans body is different, and some have clear succretions and others may have a white "murkey" looking succretion.  Some may not have any. As long as there is no foul odor, itching, or pain you should be fine.  However, if it is a strong concern you may want to call your physician and ask to speak to the nurse to ask a general question.  Thats to save you a co-pay and a visit.

I would call the doc. I consider it normal to spot after a D&C and I have had five. Four lost but wanted babies and one attempt to clean my womb of fibroids. I am hoping that it just went a little rougher than it should have. If the blood flow is heavy, I would ask you to go to the emergency room or an Urgent Care for an ultrasound. Were you biopsied? I have had a hysterectomy myself and I bled a little after a biopsy. Nevertheless, I think you should at minimum call your attending physician's nurse.
