Please do not have intercourse or place anything in the vagina for 4 weeks following the procedure. Please do not lift anything heavier than 15 pounds for the first 2 weeks following the procedure. If you should be having excessive bleeding or are passing clots, please call the office. A brown discharge is commonly produced by the brown solution placed on your cervix. If you develop pain in your pelvis, fever, have a foul-smelling discharge, or have pus from the vagina, call the office.
Stenosis generally is due to excessive scar reaction following surgery.
This complication is more common in women over age 40, but it is impossible to predict who will get stenosis. Your physician can dilate or open the cervix at a later date if this problem occurs. However, dysplasia or cancer can redevelop in the normal remaining cervical tissue. It is important that you return for proper follow-up after the procedure. Once we document a series of successive normal PAP smears, we then return you to annual examinations.
