What should I do if I had sexual intercourse after removing a cervical polyp?

Patient's question:

What should I do if I had sex three days after having a cervical polyp removed? I feel a little uncomfortable down there. Will it cause any interference? Can you help me clarify this?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, engaging in sexual activity too soon after a cervical polypectomy can easily lead to endometrial infection and wound breakdown. It is recommended to avoid sexual activity too early, take proper rest to prevent overexertion, enhance hygiene in the perineal area, and seek medical follow-up for examination when necessary. If any abnormalities are found, timely treatment should be initiated. In fact, having cervical polyps is not something to be feared. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and symptomatic treatment is provided, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
