Cervical Hemorrhage Post Diathermy Treatment. What Is The Recovery Time?
2 weeks ago I had loop diathermy treatment after detecting advanced stage 3 pre cancerous cells on my cervix from smears and biopsys. the treatment appeared to be successful but 10hours later I was rushed to hospital with a haemorrhage and had to be taken in for emergency treatment to stop the bleeding.
Originally I had been advised not to have sex for 6 weeks, and to take precautions for up to 3 months after that due to the negative impact sperm has on the repairal of the cervix.
I have 3 questions:
1. Is it safe for me and my partner to perform foreplay externally?
2. When can i begin exercise again?
3.When will it be safe to have sex now that I have had a cervical haemorrgage?
Hope someone can help x thanks

Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about what happened to you.
1. Yes, it is very very safe for you to have foreplay with your partner. Nothing contradicts this.
2. You can start to exercise as soon as possible. There is no reason to fear. The greatest fear is with any possible act that can traumatize the cervix and nothing else. if it doesn't involve the vagina, you are safe.
3. I will like you to follow up with your doctor. after examining your cervix, he would be able to tell whether the healing has reached levels that can allow you have sex. Talk the the OBGYN who carried out the procedure for follow up review and recommendations after exams.
I hope you find this helpful and it addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
