What Causes Bloody Discharge And Swollen Tummy After Diathermy Loop Excision?
Hi, I had a diathermy loop excision done on Wednesday (it s now Sunday) I have had bloody discharge since Thursday and my tummy was extremely swollen. The swelling has reduced but not completely. i was told to expect the bleeding and just to keep an eye out for clots or excessive bleeding. However I am absolutely exhausted. I can t seem to last a couple of hours before I need a nap, is this normal? I m still also having occasional pain in my tummy, almost like a shooting pain and have constant pain in my lower back. Thanks Colette
Hi. You need to see the operating Surgeon immediately as this can have a complication like a perforation or so. Stop taking anything orally and see a Doctor. This is obviously due to the procedure you have undergone.
