Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am,
Thanks for trusting us with your healthcare.

I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.

Usually, after the leep procedures, we suggest no sex at least for 6 weeks, so in your case, you should wait for 3 more weeks.

And as you are not having any discharge, you should not afraid of pain and infection.

Hope you found this useful, feel free to ask more information.

Good luck.
