Help Needed: How long will the bleeding continue after surgery? Will sex life be painful in the future?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is normal for wound scabs to fall off and bleed. Recovery after LEEP surgery also requires a process. Although it is a minor surgery, it still needs attention in terms of diet and lifestyle, avoiding cold foods. For this condition, you can use a course of cephradine capsules and clean the wound with magnesium sulfate solution. It is also important to adhere to medication, ensure adequate sleep and rest, maintain a balance between work and rest, and keep a relaxed mind and body. Eat a light diet, avoid spicy foods. Personal hygiene should also be noted. Lastly, follow-up is necessary, and treatment should be continued until the wound heals. It is important to keep the external genital area clean, and the wound typically takes 6 to 8 weeks to heal. Before the wound is fully healed, avoid sexual intercourse and vaginal douching. Post-surgery, follow-up checks can be done once a week to monitor the healing progress.
