Detailed Answer:
Hello & thank you for submitting your question to HCM.
After this type of procedure, you
may experience internal tenderness or slight soreness in the pelvic/pubic area. Also, there might be very mild discharge over the next few days. In general, this procedure usually does not cause serious post-operative effects. If you experience any significant pain, bleeding, fever or chills, please see your physician immediately. It is also important to maintain regular follow-up for future pelvic examinations and Pap smear testing.
I hope this was helpful.
