How long does bleeding normally last after LEEP surgery?

Patient's question:

The LEEP surgery has been a week, but there is still bleeding. Sometimes, it feels like a large amount of watery fluid is gushing out suddenly. Under normal circumstances, how long is it considered normal for this bleeding to last? The doctor advised that if there is heavy bleeding, follow-up is needed. If there is no heavy bleeding, a follow-up in 3 months is fine, right? Is that too long? I am very eager for your reply.

Doctor's answer:

??Hello, based on the situation you described, if the bleeding after LEEP procedure has lasted for 7 days and the amount is similar to menstrual bleeding, this is not normal. It is recommended that you undergo a gynecological examination to check the postoperative recovery.
Generally, there is a healing period after surgery, during which there may be bleeding. However, the duration is usually not this long, and the amount of bleeding is typically not as heavy as menstrual bleeding. Therefore, it is advised that you get checked.
