You have just had the above procedure performed.

After the procedure, you should take it easy for a few days and avoid running and cycling. If you have heavy work, we recommend taking a sick leave for 3-4 days. There will be light bleeding and discharge for 2-3 weeks after the procedure, and during that period you should avoid intercourse, baths, swimming and strenuous physical activity. If you experience signs of infection, you should contact your doctor.

After 3-5 weeks, the cervix has healed and new mucous membrane covers the area from which the cone was removed. The procedure has no impact on sexual intercourse or your chances of getting pregnant and carrying a pregnancy to term.

Since the cone is removed with electrosurgery, it will often be relatively difficult to assess the edges. Even if the changes reach the edge, further treatment is rarely necessary.

You will typically have the following 2 check-ups performed here in the clinic.

You will typically receive a response to the tissue sample within 14 days. The response can either be received as an email response or by contacting the clinic during our sample response time between 08.30 - 09.00, Monday - Thursday on our main number.

NOTE, our emergency number will not be answered.
