Is Urine Leakage Normal Post Leep Procedure?

I had a leep procedure done last Tuesday- In addition to mild cramping, I ve been leaking what I think is urine ever since... I have to wear a liner and change it each time I use the bathroom- Why is this happening? Did something go wrong during the procedure?

LEEP is one way to remove abnormal cells from the cervix. Other procedures are cryosurgery, laser treatment, and cone biopsy. The decision of which method to use depends on how much cervical tissue needs to be removed and where on the cervix the abnormal cells are located.
The most common risk in the first 3 weeks after a LEEP is heavy bleeding. If you have heavy bleeding, contact your doctor. You may need to have more of the paste applied to the cervix to stop it.
Although most women have no problems, there is a small increase in the risk of premature births and having a low birth weight baby. In rare cases, the cervix is narrowed after the procedure. This narrowing may cause problems with menstruation. It also may make it difficult to become pregnant.
