hi.
I've just been discharged from hospital without any answers so i need some advice please.
My brief history is that i have a colposcopy and loop excision on 1st June following an abnormal smear. CIN3 and still waiting for histology results (Told 4 wk wait)
I had some discharge( lighter than i expected) for first few days and my period started on Fri or Sat (hard to judge what was actual start due to discharge IYKWIM. Heavier than usual (again as i expected) When I returned to work on Mon (Lucky me had procedure during half term!) my bleeding got much heavier. I had little clots. I phoned Colposcopy clinic and than advised if things hadn't settled down by weekend contact GP. Did a short day at work on Wed and did "light " duties.
On Thursday,while at work bleeding quite heavy. PROPER blood not bloody discharge(TMI detail, I soaked a san pad through and had blood on knickers over an hour and a half,passed a 2cm blood clot) so I saw my Dr within two hours and by then bleeding had lightened again.
On Fri morn, bleeding was light. I then started to knead some bread (Random!) and seem to have triggered bleeding off again. We had some friends over(who don't know of my current cervical adventures) and throughout dinner i went through EIGHT mat pads between 7pm and midnight. i passed huge clots 8cm size ones. I presumed as soon as I relaxed and lay down in bed the bleeding would stop. I got up at 3pm, but had to crawl to bathroom and collasped (didn't lose conciousness) and fell on floor. We phoned gynae ward and were advised to come in. I then started shivering and ended up calling an ambulance.
i was examined and put on antibiotics and admitted due to blood loss,but the dr didn't explain fully what her thoughts were re bleeding. She tried to reassure me but then kept insisting I get my gp to chase histology up and saying things like "you're OK , for the moment."
Later in day Dr came back to say my iron levels were ok so I didn't need to stay the night (Hooray) I tried to ask for more info but she said she was very busy and the nurse would let me know. I asked the nurse when she appeared two and a half hours later but she didn't know anything. There is no diagnosis on my discharge letter.
I'm not sure I have an infection. No high temp, no odour, some discomfort (But hard to tell if it's IBS related cos I'm sooooooo stressed!). Blood loss is light again ,as it has been since 3am on Sat morn when I fainted and called clinic.
Can anyone suggest why I might be bleeding? Can I have an infection? Can this JUST happen? I've been given no advice re follow up. I've decided not to go to work tmw as this seems to trigger off bleed.
Sorry about how long this is.
