After effects from scan and exam

Pug_mum_with_endo profile image

Panicking a bit - I had an internal ultrasound (much poking with the wand which was painful) followed by an examination including a speculum. This happened on Friday last week. Since then I'm seeing black tissues and fibres coming out, and I'm still getting cramps. Has anyone else experienced this?

I would call the GP asap and explain. I’ve had brown blood which is old blood but nothing like you describe.

Thanks Jules. No sign of infection and a range of tests came back negative. GP suspects the exam disturbed tissue but I can't wait to get the whole thing removed next month.

My last ultrasound the guy was very rough it was awful, usually they are very good. Glad your tests were ok and good luck with everything. x
