Q: loop diathermy reaction

Three years ago, I had a loop diathermy to remove some pre cancerous cells. Things have never been the same since. It's like my cervix never recovered. Every time I have sex I feel tense, and nervous, and it'spainful. It's like I can feel my cervix, all the time, when I sit down for long periods it feels uncomfortable. The other weird thing is that I feel tense and anxious all the time, and absolutely exhausted ever since, it happened. I work part time, and then all the rest of the time i just spend lyng down,

After it happened I lost faith in conventional medicine. I couldn't go back to the doctor because they were the ones that had caused the problem. I started doing yoga, every day, because I thought if it could relax all the tension in my body, then it would help me heal. It's helped but it's painful during sex. I'm really worried that I am going to be infertile now. I never heard of this happening to anyone before. What can I do?

I know you don't want to, but you really need to go back and tell the doctor what happened. If they actually did injure your cervix, the yoga isn't going to help that!

re: wierd reaction to loop diathermy

I had a loop diathermy not long ago. When I got the ok to have sex again, I found it incredibly uncomfortable and I was really tense.

Worst of all, when he went down on me, I freaked out. BIG style. It scared him too cos he thought he hurt me.

We talked about it, and we're working through it. Just being more gentle and touchy-feely generally. Like learning to trust him again, but I know it's not his fault, but that of the doctors - nothing wrong until they decided to take a chunk out.

Hope this helps?

Re: painful sex after loop diathermy

Hi,

I came across your posts when I was looking for some information on the internet. I had a loop diathermy done just over 6 weeks and as advised I didn't have sex for 6 weeks but now when my partner and I have sex I find it quite uncomfortable and I tense up alot which makes it more uncomfortable. My boyfriend is really understanding but I'm freaked out that it will never get better and I am going to feel like this all the time. Just wondered if there is any advice and whether it's quite common with people.

Thanks it's helped to get this out!

I had it done with a local anasthetic and felt absolutely fine after a couple of weeks. I think I was lucky in that I have had severe cancer before (ok so that bit wasn't lucky!) so I have had quite a bit of counselling help. I wonder if the very real physical symptoms you feel are not because there is a biological problem but because you have had invasive treatment of a very private area? In a slightly similar way to women that are abused or raped, it negatively affects any sort of healthy sexual contact. I would strongly suggest talking to someone who understands and can help - as a couple if you can! Very very good luck to you all. God bless.

advice please( cervitix)!!!!

I was reading all these stuff and I got terrified. My OBNG found out that I have cervitis and he is convinsed that I got it from my partner. He was my only partner and it was the first time I had sex. I went through several sessions of cervical tushee ( cauterize with albothyl was applied several times). My OBNG suggested that I have a loop diathermie , but I am scared doing it. I didnt had sex for more than year and a half and still I have frequent vaginal discharge which is without odor. Sometimes I do please myself,,,, is that dangerous for my sensitive cervical... ( I am 20 yrs old, please help as I cant talk to anybody!!!!!!)

You poor thing! You sound terrified. But really I promise there is no need to be. Frequent vaginal discharge is normal - it's a way of your body cleaning itself. At first I was really worried because I had to use panty liners about half of the month but then I found out it was really common. Infact it would be strange if you didn't have any! If it ever smells though you might have an infection so do get the Dr to check it out if that happens.
If a loop diathermy has been suggested by a hospital then do have it done. I had other treatment previously but this is the treatment that got rid of the problem once and for all. There is now no pain, I can have sex as normal and having a little 'me' time to please yourself really won't do you any harm - don't worry about that at all!
