What Is Causing The Throbbing In My Thigh?
Hello! I had a hysteroscopy and a polypectomy along with a Mirena Coil fitted under a general anaesthetic on Monday. I was on my period at the time. I had no problems and was discharged to go home that evening. Three questions: 1/ I have some throbbing pain in my thigh, it s not red, hot or swollen. Just intermittent throbbing. I don t believe it s DVT, but could it be related to my procedure? 2/ I am having lots of cramps even though I have more spotting than actual bleeding and its now four days on. I know it can take between 3 - 6 months for the coil to settle down; does this include pain? 3/ My polypectomy wasn t planned and I wasn t advised how long to wait before having intercouse. What is a safe period of time to wait? Many Thanks Vicky

Hello,
Throbbing pains and cramps in lower abdomen are normal after Hysteroscopy and IUD implantation as well. The cramps will subside in a few weeks. Apply hot compress and take Tylenol for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
