Hello Emily and thanks for your post

As you will see on the Jo's Trust cervical website side effects such as bleeding can last for about 4 weeks. As you know penetrative sex is not advised as well as having fingers inside your vagina for masturbation. Oral sex is also not advised during this time.

I hope this is of use. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Celene
