How long after cervical conization should I have sex

Generally, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited within two months after cervical conization. Whether sexual intercourse can be performed after two months depends on the individual's wound healing condition, because the size and healing condition of each person's wound are different.

Suggested measures

It is recommended not to have sex two months after cone biopsy, because the wound has not healed yet, and sexual intercourse may tear the wound, which is not conducive to its healing. Then it is best to go for a follow-up visit two months later to check the healing status of the wound.

Frequently asked questions

After the operation, you should pay attention to your diet. It is best not to eat spicy food, which is not conducive to the healing of the wound. Try to avoid touching the wound with your hands, because it may cause wound infection and prolong its healing time.

But a few caveats:

1. The main cause of cervical precancerous changes is HPV virus infection, so follow-up after surgery is very important. Generally, TCT examination should be carried out once every three months. If everything is normal, TCT can be checked once every six months. If it is still normal, a normal routine physical examination can be carried out once a year.

2. If you do not consider having children, it is best to take some measures during sex. It is best to wear a condom, because the cervix is ​​very easy to get pregnant after cone biopsy. In addition, it can prevent cross infection between husband and wife.

3. In the absence of a good method to control HPV, regular vaginal cleaning can help reduce the titer of viral infection.

4. It is best to quit smoking and drinking. There is a lot of direct evidence that smoking accelerates the impact of HPV on cervical cancer cells, and secondhand smoke is also harmful.
