Hi all, wanting to know if others have had similar experiences with frequent/unusual spotting post cone biopsy treatment.
Long story short, I had a LLETZ last year to treat abnormal cells. They then discovered stage 1A1 cancer and as a result I had a cone biopsy to make sure any remaining cells were removed. They also had to do an unplanned laparoscopy as they thought they’d cut too far but everything seemed to come up clear. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have caught this at such an early stage, and even more so to have been given confirmation that there were no more abnormal cells six months on.
What I’m still struggling with is that I’m now nearly a year out from having my cone biopsy and experiencing some pretty persistent spotting. I’d had absolutely no symptoms and an incredibly regular cycle pre treatment. However, post treatment, while my cycle itself is still regular, I now get frequent spotting in the days leading up to my period - to the point of having sometimes 11 days spotting + bleeding all up.
I’m booked in to have an ultrasound and my gynae is adamant it can’t be connected to the original surgery, but obviously the timing all feels a bit coincidental.
I’m interested in whether others have had similar experiences, whether it passed, whether it turned out to be something else - anything to help me understand!
I will be eternally grateful for getting treatment so early on but guess I’m just feeling a bit frustrated that my body now feels worse that when it all began if that makes sense!
