Can Intercourse Soon After Cervix Cauterization Cause Serious Problems?

3 weeks ago I had a laparoscopy/cystoscopy/colposcopy done, where I had endometriosis removed, my urethra widened and my cervix cauterised. I ve had laparoscopies before but this was the first time I ve had my cervix cauterised. No one told me when I could return to intercourse, so I just presumed it was similar to the last times and this evening I had sex with my partner. I am now in absolute agony, my lower abdomen is heavily swollen and even morphine isn t helping with my pain. I have since read that I should have waited 6 weeks to have sex after I had my cervix cauterised. Have I now done some serious damage? Or will things be okay? Many thanks.

OBGYN,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for letting us know your health concern. There is no absolute need to wait for 6 weeks after the procedure to resume regular sexual intercourse. The pain is not consistent with the procedure and I would ask you to have a specialist look into it. You would need a sonogram of the pelvis preferably in the trans-vaginal route to detect the cause of the pain. Take adequate rest and maintain proper genital hygiene. Hope you find this information useful. Wish you good health.
