Frequently asked questions about cervical conization

bleed

Generally speaking, about half a month after the operation, due to the gradual loss of the supporting force of the sutures, many patients will have a small amount of vaginal bleeding if they move a lot. This is normal. If the bleeding is not as heavy as the menstrual flow, you can just rest in bed. If it is much heavier than the menstrual flow, you should go to the hospital where you had the operation in time to see your attending physician. Negligence may cause internal bleeding.

Vaginal washing

Vaginal cleaning is a very important thing after surgery and should not be ignored. After the operation, the shape of the cervix will be reshaped, and there will be a lot of secretions, which are very easy to cause infection and will also have a strong odor.

In addition, careful cleaning after surgery can significantly reduce the incidence of cervical adhesions. The shape of the cervix is ​​also related to cleaning. The cervix of patients who do not clean carefully often heals unsatisfactorily, and the surface is not smooth and flat.

For general cleaning, it is best to use warm water and vaginal cleaning to flush it into the vagina. There is no problem with long-term use, but if you use medicine, it is okay within a week. If it is longer, it is not suitable, as it will destroy the normal beneficial bacteria in the female vagina. It is generally believed that vaginal cleaning is best done once a day until the cervix is ​​completely healed after three months.

Is the first menstrual period after surgery smooth?

It is very important, because the cervix and cervical canal after cone biopsy are formed, and healing requires a certain process. Some patients are not careful in cleaning, or the cervix is ​​not dilated enough during surgery, or the cervix is ​​not sealed long enough after surgery, which will always cause cervical adhesions. If your period is not constant or is accompanied by significant abdominal pain, you should see your doctor.

Narrow cervix

This happens to about 4% of patients. Therefore, patients should pay attention to their menstrual period after surgery. If menstruation is blocked or there is abdominal pain, they should seek medical attention immediately.

Regular follow-up

It is recommended that you see a doctor once a month for three months after cervical conization. The key is to check the wound healing status and deal with any abnormalities properly. We will decide whether to continue vaginal cleaning according to the situation.

At 3 months after the operation, the patient will have a follow-up check for cervical cytology (TCT) or human papillomavirus infection; there will be follow-up checks at 6, 9, and 12 months, with the same new items as before. A follow-up visit is required in the second year. If everything is normal for the first time, a follow-up visit should be conducted every six months; if everything is normal, a follow-up visit can be conducted once a year in the future.
