Go ahead: If that's what you want to do. Wait for normal intercourse until your gynecologist says you're healed. I hope the conization is successful and you get a cure; this remarkable procedure has been a blessing to hundreds of thousands of women. Best wishes.

Question 6

is it ok to have an orgasm a week after a cold knife cone biopsy?

Accepted Answer

Okay if ...: It is okay to masturbate to orgasm as long as not using sex tools to reach and hit cervix; for intercourse, not to perform deep penetration esp. by one with long penis. It is good idea &amp; logical to give an open wound at least 2-3 weeks to heal. Nonetheless, people's ability to cope with insult are variable and no one answer fits all.

Question 7

after having a cold knife cone biopsy, how long should you wait before sex?

Accepted Answer

At least two weeks: You could have sex when you feel ready, just remember that there is raw wound inside, and you will experience bleeding, if you have sex before the wound has healed properly. You may try after two weeks and if there is no bleeding you are okay. While inconvenient, waiting 6 weeks would be ideal.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Scalpel: The doctor uses a scalpel and/or scissors to remove a cone shaped portion of the cervix.  He/she may place stitches to prevent bleeding.

Question 9

what to do if i have had very foul odor for seven days after the cold knife cone biopsy does that mean infection?

Accepted Answer

Likely: It would be prudent to contact your doctor who performed the surgery.

Question 10

what are some more extensive evaluations and followup procedures to expect after multiple abnormal paps, cone biopsies and a leep procedure. ?

Accepted Answer

You named them: The procedures used to evaluate for pre-cancer cells of cervix are: paps, hpv dna probe, cervical biopsy, leep and cold knife conization of cervix.  Typically a doctor will remove affected tissue of a cin 3 biopsy until the margins are clear of abnormal cells.  At 29, docs should be conservative and try to remove as little tissue as possible, so not to ^ ur risk cervical incompet and preterm birth.
