What can I expect after the LEEP procedure is done?
Most people can return to normal school or work activity the same day. You may have a little cramping after the procedure. You may also have some minor bleeding or spotting the first day or so after the procedure. For about 2 weeks you will have a brownish discharge. This is a normal part of the healing of your cervix. Your cervix should heal completely within a month.
You should avoid heavy lifting, tampons, douching, sexual intercourse, and hot tubs for 1 month after the procedure.
Your doctor will inform you when the results are available and tell you what type of follow-up is needed.
