Patient's question:
After the cervical polyp surgery, how long can I have sexual activity? What are the hazards of cervical polyps, and how can they be identified? I expect the doctor to provide appropriate advice based on my physical condition.Doctor's answer:
Hello, cervical polyps are one manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation and are more common in unmarried women. Due to the high potential for malignant transformation, they should be surgically removed immediately upon detection. After treatment, the cervix has a healing period, during which poor care can easily lead to bacterial infection, which may cause recurrence. Sexual activity undoubtedly plays a role in exacerbating this, so it is generally recommended to strictly prohibit sexual intercourse for one month after surgery. It is advised to undergo surgery in a formal hospital. Not only should sexual intercourse be strictly prohibited for half a month after cervical polyp surgery, but local hygiene must also be maintained. This helps in prevention and disease control.
