I cried today.

@AlexDaviesJones @UKParliament Thank you @AlexDaviesJones for raising awareness that treatment is not always straightforward. Thousands of us are suffering serious side effects as a direct result of treatment for cell changes and there is very limited help and support available. I really hope this changes 🙏🏽

If, like me, you’ve suffered side effects from the LLETZ procedure or other cervical cell interventions then please complete the @JoTrust survey to raise awareness of how treatment can be improved. #cervicalcancer #smeartest #lletz

@DrJessTaylor This article covers one of the key side effects that we are not being warned about prior to LLETZ/LEEP surgery, nor are we believed about it afterwards:

@DrJessTaylor 🙋‍♀️ thousands of us across the world are not believed about the horrendous side effects caused by the LLETZ/LEEP procedure. Chronic pain, endometriosis, changes in periods, loss of orgasm and libido to name a few...told daily by healthcare professionals that it’s all in our heads.

Just wanna see something...

Like this tweet if you are:

A woman

And

You told a medical professional that there was something wrong with you and they told you that it was in your head, or your were wrong... and it turned out you were right.

@JoTrust Sadly, yes 😔

[Broken By LLETZ @BrokenByLLETZ]

@BBCWomansHour What about those women (like myself) with cervical changes which are not caused by HPV? I assume they would just fall through the net if this new screening is implemented.

[Broken By LLETZ @BrokenByLLETZ]

@JoTrust What about those women who are HPV negative with cervical changes? Won’t they fall through the net with these kits?

[Broken By LLETZ @BrokenByLLETZ]

@JoTrust No one ever replied to me when I posted about the issues I experienced following LLETZ 😔

[Broken By LLETZ @BrokenByLLETZ]

@hannahsmothers_ Thank you for raising awareness of some of the issues thousands of us are experiencing after LEEP/LLETZ. Fingers crossed it encourages healthcare professionals to research these side effects so hopefully one day a resolution can be found 🤞🏼

[Broken By LLETZ @BrokenByLLETZ]

@DrJenGunter If you do decide to write a piece on this, I urge you to please use your expertise and position to campaign for research into the LEEP/LLETZ side effects (long-term) so that the issues of so many women worldwide will finally be understood.

[Broken By LLETZ @BrokenByLLETZ]

@KimiChernoby @Cosmopolitan @DrJenGunter I wish for myself and so many other women that this was just a ‘vagina myth’ but, sadly for us, it isn’t. Please help to push for better research into the long-term LEEP/LLETZ side effects and help to diagnose and solve the horrendous issues many of us are now living with.

Thousands of women undergo a routine gyno procedure known as LEEP every year without being informed of a potentially devastating result: the loss of their ability to enjoy sex. Cosmo investigates why doctors aren’t taking this side effect more seriously.

#LEEPharm #informedconsent
EVERYTHING in this article is 100% true! @Rewire_News @Cosmopolitan #medtwitter The LEEP ruined my quality of life. I feel less than a woman now. I'd rather take my chances with cancer then ever do LEEP again. https://t.co/vNLGc0butp

My story of #LEEPHarm I’m 20% funded! Can you help me reach 100% and support raising awareness about LEEP side effects?

I cannot sit without pain.
I cannot stand without pain.
I cannot sleep without pain.
I cannot dance without pain.

But I can cry.

[Broken By LLETZ @BrokenByLLETZ]

I cried because of the constant nausea.
Because of the burning pain in my back.

Because of the sharp pains deep inside me.
Because pleasure is not the same.
