I was diagnosed with CIN III and was told a Leep procedure will remove my abnormal cells. I had the procedure done a week ago and noticed my lymph nodes on the left side are swollen and sore. Has this happened to anyone? I'm not sure of o have an infection or something worse.

Hello all.
The swelling and tenderness of the lymph nodes can be a sign of an infection or other medical conditions. Here are a few potential reasons for lymph node swelling and soreness:
-
Infections: Lymph nodes can swell in response to infections, as they are part of the body's immune system. This can include minor infections like the common cold or more serious conditions.
-
Injury or trauma: Sometimes, if there's been an injury or trauma near a lymph node, the node may swell in response.
-
Post-surgical inflammation: Any procedure, including LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure), can cause some inflammation in the body. It's possible that this inflammation might lead to swollen lymph nodes.
-
Other medical conditions: Certain conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, cancers, or other types of infections, can cause swollen lymph nodes.
-
Unrelated conditions: It's also possible that the swelling is due to an entirely unrelated condition to your LEEP procedure.
