After a cervical cone biopsy, it takes about four to six weeks for the cervix to heal completely. While most individuals can resume regular activities within one week, your doctor will instruct you on things to avoid and how to care for the treatment area properly as the cervix heals and recovers. With LEEP, you may be able to resume regular activities within one to three days, although it still takes the same amount of time for the cervix to heal. If a cervical cone biopsy is performed using general anesthesia, a nurse will remove you to a recovery room immediately after the surgery to allow you time to rest and recover for one to four hours before returning home.
