I had a leep procedure in 11.17.14 and am still battling an odor smell. Is this common? Also, I had severe bleeding two weeks after the procedure where I was changing a pad every 25 minutes. I had to get recauterized; two weeks later same thing happened with the bleeding which I assumed was my period, but it was severe for 5 days. I went back again to my doc and he said procedure looked like it was healing well. However I continue to bright red spotting and have bad odor. Any suggestions? Odor recommendations?
