Hi Ladies,

Just wondered whether any of you have had this procedure done and how you managed afterwards? :o

I had it done last week and still don't feel great. How long before I can resume normal activities?

    Hello,

    I've had this done a few times actually. It generally takes a month or so for discharge etc to settle down then I've been fine .
    I find the original problem tends to reoccur every five years or so. I think the cells just grow back eventually. It's annoying but easily sorted.

    Hope you feel better soon

    I've had it too, more than once. It's really okay. It's not been a total cure for me. I still can't use tampons because they hurt, bleed during smears etc, but it's nowhere near as bad as it was.

    Don't worry and make sure you rest for as long as you can get away with!
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.
