Patient's question:
On July 12, 2013, there was bleeding, and I underwent a LEEP procedure at Nanchang First Affiliated Hospital. Now, the examination shows it wasn't completely removed, and I often have lower abdominal pain.Doctor's answer:
After LEEP surgery, antibiotics are given to prevent infection; sexual activity and tub baths are prohibited within 8 weeks post-surgery. Monitor the vaginal discharge; it is normal to have discharge for the first 3 days after surgery, requiring no treatment or concern. The cervical wound will slough off 7–10 days post-surgery, with a small amount of vaginal bleeding, which does not require treatment and will usually stop within 4–6 days. If bleeding is excessive, consult a doctor for guidance.At the same time, when choosing LEEP surgery, it is important to be aware of its contraindications: do not use vaginal suppositories or perform vaginal irrigation without a doctor's permission; avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation; prevent cervical injury during childbirth with instruments, and seek timely suture repair if cervical laceration is discovered postpartum; avoid spicy and irritating foods.
