What to Expect After LEEP Knife Tapering

There are many precautions to be taken after LEEP knife conization, mainly including observing vaginal bleeding and vaginal discharge, prohibiting sexual intercourse and pelvic bathing, contraception for about six months, and maintaining good living habits.
1. Observe vaginal bleeding and secretion: patients should pay attention to observe vaginal bleeding after surgery. It is normal to have a small amount of vaginal bleeding 2 weeks after the surgery, but if the amount of vaginal bleeding exceeds the usual amount of menstruation, patients should consult a doctor in time. After the operation, you should also pay attention to the vaginal secretion with or without odor, whether there is abdominal pain and discomfort after the operation, etc., and consult the doctor in time if you find any abnormality.
2. Prohibition of sexual intercourse and pelvic bathing: Generally speaking, patients should prohibit pelvic bathing and sexual intercourse for 1 month after the operation, so as to avoid premature sexual intercourse, which may cause bleeding due to the shedding of scabs on the surface of the wound.
3. Contraception for 3-6 months: women of childbearing age should be contraceptive for about half a year after the surgery, as premature labor or abortion may occur if they get pregnant too early.
4. Maintaining good living habits: During the recovery period after the surgery, you should keep the vulva clean and dry, pay attention to diet and nutrition, keep a happy mood, ensure enough sleep and avoid staying up late.
