It is recommended not to have intercourse within one week for cervical cancer screening, mainly because one is TCT test and the other is HPV test. Both tests require a specimen brush to be inserted into the cervical canal to extract the exfoliated cells, which may cause slight damage to the mucosa of the cervical canal and bleeding due to rupture of capillaries during the test. It is recommended not to have intercourse for one week, as the mucosal tissue will heal and intercourse after one week will not cause any inflammatory reaction. In addition, during the period of vaginal bleeding, it is important to keep the vulva clean and change the sanitary napkins or pads regularly to reduce the possibility of infection, and not to take a sitz bath or shower for a week.
