Back story: I had a large cyst removed from my cervix on Nov 23rd, I'd been referred by my GP to have it assessed in the colposcopy clinic. He removed the whole thing and biopsied the tissue underneath (still awaiting results but I think it's all fine). He had some trouble cauterising it so I was in there for around 90mins. He finally managed to stop the bleeding and I went home. For the next few weeks I had some discharge (including the blackened, cauterised tissue) and then at the beginning of last week some spotting of fresh, bright red blood. That stopped yesterday, but as soon as I got up this morning I had a huge gush of blood, went to the toilet and passed 3 huge clots. Since then it's been steadily flowing, to the point where I'd soaked 3 sanitary towels by 11am. I passed a further 7 clots as well. I'm waiting on a call from the colposcopy clinic, but they're really busy and I won't get to speak to them before 3pm. I've called my GP and been offered a call back at 4:10.
Mostly I was wondering if anyone has experienced anything like this after a cyst removal. I only have a mild cramp, but terrible pain in my lower back. It's almost definitely not just a heavy period as I have a Mirena in place so haven't had a period in years. And even so, it's far too heavy for a period, it's constantly flowing and every so often I get a huge gush and more clots again. I'm starting to feel light headed and shaky, which I'm assuming is something to do with it.
I know everyone will say 'go to the gp' which I can't do until I've had the phone call, they have no appointments and can't give you one until you've spoken to a doctor! So until I've had the call back, I'm stuck here feeling shitty and stressed!
Anyone had a similar experience??
