What Are the Precautions to Follow After Cryotherapy?

Cervical cryotherapy is mainly aimed at effectively repairing chronic cervical inflammation or erosion lesions. After the operation, it is important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia. Sexual activity should be avoided for three months to prevent bacterial infection. After 40 days, it is necessary to conduct a follow-up visit to check the recovery of the cervix in order to promptly repair any unexpected situations.

1. Keep the external genitalia clean. Use a 30% solution of Jieeryin to clean the external genitalia twice a day to prevent infection by pathogenic bacteria.

2. On the second day after cryosurgery, there will be a large amount of exudate locally, manifesting as increased vaginal secretions. It is important to change sanitary napkins frequently to avoid prolonged use, which can lead to infection by pathogenic bacteria.

3. Sexual activity should be avoided for three months after the operation, as the cervix gradually recovers after cryosurgery and it takes three months for full recovery.

4. When showering, avoid sitting in a bath and instead take a shower to prevent water entering the vagina and causing infection.

5. A follow-up visit is necessary after 40 days to check the recovery of the cervix. Generally, it takes 40 days for complete recovery.
