bleeding, sex, and the LEEP?

Question

I had the LEEP procedure done a year and a half ago to remove some abnormal cells from my cervix. Ever since then, everytime I have sex I bleed and cramp....and it obviously is not nearly as enjoyable. The doctors don't seem to be concerned that I am still bleeding and having these problems...I am frustrated...obviously....
Has anyone else had this happen or know why this may be happening? Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Answer 1

I had a LEEP Procedure about 3 years ago. For the first year or so I always spotted and cramped after sex. I still cramp after sex. My Doctor didn't seemed very concerned about it either, but I can tell you what she told me about it. She said that everything has healed, it is just going to take time for my cervix to be as strong as it was before. Sex actually "exercises" the cervix. That is how my Dr. explained it to me. When you have sex your cervix contracts and relaxes, just like any muscle does when you exercise it. So the cramping is the equivalent to a muscle cramp. As far as the bleeding goes, My Dr. told me that I would spot because the tissues or my cervix were still very New and young, because of the LEEP that the spotting was just because they were irritated. I really hope this helps you. Your Dr. should have at least explained what was going on to you.

Answer 2

I would go to another doctor. They should have checked you since then. Have you gone in for yout yearly pap to make sure that there are not other problems? Also, if you plan on having kids, make sure your doctor checks your cervix from 13 weeks on at every appointment, as women that have had a LEEP procedure are more prone to Incompetent Cervix, and can lead to premature birth. I lost a baby girl due to this at 21 week a year ago Saturday. I didn't have a LEEP procedure, but when I was doing research this came up as one of the causes.

Hon. the LEEP ought to of brought about a granulomar to style @ the appropriate of three hundred and sixty 5 days cervix, & once you have intercourse it extremely is somewhat rougher than conventional you need to bleed. it extremely is not existence threatening or something, yet while it extremely is nerve-racking then you definitely please get it regarded at enormously using pre-cancerous tissue cells that have been bumped off. My motto is that if uncertain - examine it out. greater appropriate secure than sorry. I more desirable a granulomar after having a hysterectomy in 2000 & each now and then bleed after making love. My OBGYN pronounced he ought to diathermy it, yet easily i can not be bothered having yet yet another scientific technique pondering i've got had 19 in view that 1992.
