Is this normal after lletz treatment?

I went for LLETZ treatment 6 weeks ago and recovery has been fine except for a lump that I have inside my vagina, it is not too far from the entrance.

I was hoping it would have went down by now but looks to be the same size as it was when I had the treatment. From reading online I found it could be scar tissue that would go down with my period but I had my period 2 weeks after my treatment yet the lump remains.

There are no other issues that I can see, there has been no funny smell or odd discharge, there has been no bleeding either.

    what kind of lletz? i don't understand the question... they remove something and now its back after 6 weeks? Nobody can say its normal or not at internet... you should go to your gyn or surgeon... did you get HPV vaccination?

      I had the vaccination as a teenager so would have ran out 2 years ago. It was lletz treatment to remove abnormal cells (CIN2)

    Hi woman,

    So you had a loop excision to remove tissue from the cervix (at the top of the vagina), but you now find there's a lump close to the entrance of the vagina. With respect, it doesn't make sense?!! Unless I've misunderstood you, I can't imagine how treatment on the cervix would cause a lump in the vagina. I guess you have a follow-up appointment soon, so I suggest you ask them to examine this lump.

      I had treatment to remove CIN2 cells and there wasn't a lump separate from the abnormal cells until after the treatment. Unfortunately I do not have a follow up appointment until December

      Could you not ask them to move your appointment forward to July because you have a NEW problem that could be related to the procedure?
