How long after cervical erosion surgery can I have sex?

It is generally recommended not to have sex within two months after cervical erosion surgery.

During the tissue repair process, if sexual intercourse is performed, the new wound surface of the cervix will be worn or even bleed, affecting the efficacy. The pathogens of cervical erosion are mainly Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli and anaerobic bacteria. When the cervix is ​​inflamed, the amount of leucorrhea in the body gradually increases, and some are bloody or bleed after sexual intercourse. If the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity in the body, it will directly cause symptoms such as lower abdominal distension and dysmenorrhea in women.

How to check after cervical erosion surgery

Postoperative follow-up for cervical erosion is very necessary, and the follow-up work must not be ignored, so that doctors can better ensure how the condition of patients with cervical erosion has improved, and thus develop further treatment methods to allow patients to recover better.

During the follow-up examination, the doctor will check the patient's cervical recovery, wound healing, and whether there is cervical stenosis. If the follow-up result is not good, such as infection, hyperplasia, adhesion, etc., timely treatment is required. You should go for a follow-up examination one week, one month, and two months after the operation. It is not until the doctor says that the cervix is ​​smooth after two months that it is considered healed. Some people cannot recover well after two months, and it takes three months. If the patient's weak physical factors lead to slow recovery after the operation, if you do not go for a follow-up examination and think that you are already well, you will resume sexual life, which may cause problems.
