Leep Procedure Done. When Can I Have Vaginal And Oral Sex Post Surgery?
Hello, I had a LEEP procedure done about 3 weeks ago and I was wondering what the typical wait time is on intercourse and oral sex . They told me nothing in the vagina for 6 weeks but I ve been reading everywhere that 3 wks will suffice. I don t want to cause myself any extra pain or infection so if I have to wait 6 wks, I ll wait 6 wks. Just wanted to see if maybe they were just playing it extra safe by telling me that. I d call, but it takes forever for them to call me back.

Hi,
Normally, waiting time for vaginal intercourse after a LEEP procedure is 4 weeks. It includes anything inserting into vagina like tampons, sex toys etc. & also avoiding douching also. You may be right that, your doctor may be extra precautious while advising you a waiting period of 6 weeks for this.
Still, I will advise you to comply with the advice of your doctor, as they is always in a better position to understand the situation of every specific patient. However, about oral sex, the restriction is for a few days as is generally advised for excessive activity & exercises. It is generally advised for first week of the procedure.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
