After cervical cryosurgery, how long should a patient refrain from sexual activity?

Following cervical cryosurgery, it is recommended that patients refrain from sexual activity for about a month. This timeframe is advised to allow the cervix adequate time to heal properly after the procedure. Engaging in sexual activity too soon may increase the risk of complications such as infection or irritation to the treated area, potentially interfering with the healing process and leading to discomfort. The healing process can vary for each individual, but a month is a commonly suggested period to ensure a safe recovery and minimize any potential complications associated with resuming sexual activity too early. This recommendation is based on standard post-operative care practices for cervical procedures.
