Can women with cervical polyps have sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

In the past few months, every time I have sexual intercourse, my legs hurt very much, sometimes even with broken skin. There is a lot of leukorrhea, which is thick and like curd. The smell is unpleasant. Every night I clean it, and after a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it was cervical polyps. What kind of assistance is needed: Can one have sexual intercourse with cervical polyps?

Doctor's answer:

Cervical polyps are caused by physical inflammation. Before removal, sexual activity is strictly prohibited as it may lead to infection. It is recommended to have the polyps removed one week after menstruation, and the surgery should be performed in a regular hospital. After the surgery, it is important to rest and take care of yourself. Avoid spicy and irritating foods in your diet, and pay attention to personal hygiene. It is necessary to have timely medical examinations if you have cervical polyps, avoid stimulating foods, and promptly treat chronic inflammation. It is better to have the polyps surgically treated in a hospital.
