How many days after cervical conization can I go back to work?

Cervical conization has two functions: on the one hand, it is to diagnose cervical diseases, and on the other hand, it is to remove lesions. It is a very common treatment method. When using cervical conization to treat gynecological diseases, it will definitely have an impact on health, and the time required for recovery after surgery is a concern for many people. So, how many days after cervical conization can I go back to work? Let’s take a look below.

Generally speaking, after cervical conization surgery, you only need to rest at home for one week, and you are prohibited from having sex for one month after the operation. The purpose is to avoid damaging the new cervical wound and delaying the healing of the cervical wound. If there is not much bleeding after a week and you don’t feel uncomfortable, you can go out to work. Just don’t overwork yourself. Try not to eat spicy food within 15 days after the operation. Cervical conization is one of the surgical procedures for treating cervical lesions. It has minimal trauma and good therapeutic effects. There are many options for people with cervical disease.

Cervical conization is less invasive and has a quick recovery. However, there are many issues that need attention after surgery. Patients should not ignore the follow-up precautions after treatment. After cervical conization, patients must pay attention to relevant matters to avoid recurrence of the disease.

Precautions after cervical conization

1. Reduced activity in the early postoperative period. Generally, patients are encouraged to interact as soon as possible after surgery, but after cervical conization, early rise may cause bleeding due to the possibility of electrocoagulation, shedding or ligation of the wound; bleeding after 2 weeks is mostly due to suture absorption, disappearance of tension, and wound infection can also cause or aggravate bleeding. Therefore, you should move as little as possible after cervical conization.

2. Sexual activity is prohibited within 3 months after surgery to avoid bleeding and infection of the cervical wound. One week after surgery, patients can start cleaning the vagina to reduce wound infection and promote healing, and rinse with cold boiled water after 2 weeks of cleaning.

3. Pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva environment. After cone biopsy, vaginal discharge will increase, and if hygiene is not paid attention to, vaginal dryness will occur. It will make it easier to be infected with HPV virus again, and it will also make it easier to breed bacteria and cause infection. Therefore maintaining good hygiene can help speed up recovery.
