Where cryo performed: Depends on what part of your body cryo was performed. If cryo performed on cervix, then oral sex should be fine, but avoid vaginal penetration. However, if cryo performed on your vulva/vagina or clitoral area, then I would recommend waiting until area has completely healed, and your clinician confirms that area was successfully treated, especially if genital wart.

Here are some...: How long and for what did you undergo cryotherapy? Known to us, even oral sex may transmit not only body fluid-related STDs like HIV, HBV, HPV, etc. but also gono, chlamydia if sex-related invisible barrier injury takes place. So, give time to heal "completely" but with wide variable duration depending the degree of surface injury from cryotherapy. Hense, ask treating doc for personal advice.

No: You might need a day or few for acute recovery, depending on depth & extent, but will not interfere with function or sensation in long run.
