Sex after LLETZS

I'm nearly 7 weeks post LLETZ procedure and ive still got brown discharge with thick brown clumps. My question is am I aloud to have sex or do I need to wait untill the discharge is gone?

My partner isn't bothered too much if we are.

I've read that I shouldn't until it's all gone, but the advice was 4-6 weeks. I'm not sure why my body is taking extra longer to heal from it.

I've been taking loads of vitamins, etc, done everything they told me not to do, and also wanting a nice soak in the bath  

Thanks any help would be greatful 

  • Hello there

    Some women can experience a discharge for a little longer than expected after LLETZ however this shouldn't stop you from having sex if you are otherwise feeling okay anytime from 4 weeks onwards.

    If you are still bleeding or the discharge has an unpleasant smell then you should let your doctor know in case you need treating for an infection.

    There is more information about LLETZ and do's and don't here.

    All the best
