A small amount of bleeding after LEEP knife is usually required to take medication.
LEEP knife is a kind of ultra-high-frequency electric wave knife, mainly using directed radiofrequency electric wave emission technology to achieve the purpose of diagnosis and treatment of women’s cervical diseases. Due to the removal of the affected area, a small amount of bleeding and mild pain may occur.
During the LEEP knife procedure, the doctor will perform a very tight hemostasis, but patients may also experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding two weeks after the procedure due to postoperative debridement and other factors. Because of the existence of local damage, in order to avoid the phenomenon of local infection, patients need to take medication to prevent infection, such as cefaclor, amoxicillin and so on.
One month after the operation, patients are not recommended to take a basin bath or have sex, and should be regularly reviewed to check the recovery of the wound, and timely treatment of postoperative complications.
