How long after surgery can you resume sexual activity?

Patient's question:

2012, abnormal white discharge, maternal and child health

Doctor's answer:

After treatment, it is important to maintain external genital hygiene. Sexual activity, tub baths, swimming, and vaginal irrigation should be avoided until the wound is completely healed. Regular follow-up visits are recommended after treatment. During the treatment period, if an odor is detected in the discharge, seek medical attention promptly. For those using medication, remove the cotton balls from the vagina to prevent infection.
After physical therapy, a small amount of bleeding is normal. However, if the bleeding increases, exceeds the amount of a menstrual period, or lasts for an extended period, seek medical attention immediately to identify the cause and stop the bleeding. After electrocautery treatment, patients should monitor their first menstrual period for any difficulties or dysmenorrhea to prevent cervical adhesion.
