Discharge after LEEP - Cancer: Cervical & Ovarian Message Board

Does anyone how long discharge after the LEEP procedure lasts? I've been having the "supposedly" normal "black coffee grind" looking discharge for a week now, with unplesant odor. For others who have the LEEP, did you experience the same thing?

Hi,

Well it has been a little over 2 weeks for me- and today really is the first day with no pad. I did not have the coffee grind looking discharge- mine was more like light bleeding. I also had some tissue come out as well. I would give it two weeks, even though I have read on some of these posts that it was longer. How long did your Dr. say your healing process would be. Mine said 4 weeks. Let me know how it goes!

My doctor said it should take about 4 weeks to heal. I'm scheduled to come back in on June 18th to make sure everything is healing okay. I haven't had any bleeding. My discharge has been more of a black and grayish color. I told my doctor about the odor a few days ago and she said that it was normal. However, on many websites they make it sound like bad odor isn't normal. Did yours have a foul odor?

YES i had that dark brown foul smelling discharge as well, with A LOT of tissue. i talked to my doctor and he said that its normal, but since my discharge lasted for about 3 weeks, he gave me some antibiotics cause my cervix was probably infected, which was why it was foul. since im taking birth control pills, taking the antibiotics made me vomit and naseuous, so i stopped but its okay now i think.

Hi there!

It is my second day with no discharge or cramping. I must admit the discharge did smell terrible and I felt like constantly changing the pad because of it. Has your doctor returned your results from the tissue that was removed yet?
