How long after Leep surgery can you exercise?

Patient's question:

After LEEP surgery, I feel a slight heaviness and fullness in my lower abdomen, and my legs feel weak. But after two or three days, it improves significantly. How long should I wait before I can engage in mountain climbing or other fitness activities? Swimming is definitely out of the question for at least two months, right?

Doctor's answer:

After LEEP surgery, there may be a small amount of bleeding when the scab falls off 1 to 2 weeks later. If there is heavy bleeding, seek medical attention promptly. New squamous epithelium will cover the area, which takes about 6 to 8 weeks. Mountain climbing or fitness exercises are considered strenuous activities, so it's best to wait for about three months.!!!
Lower abdominal pain and a sense of fullness are caused by uterine muscle contraction after physical therapy. Weakness and fatigue are due to excessive vaginal discharge, leading to the consumption of proteins and potassium in the body. So you don't need to worry about these..........
Oh, what you need to pay attention to is follow-up checks at 1, 2, 3, and 6 months post-surgery. If the lesion completely disappears within 6 months, it is considered cured. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
