LEETZ Procedure-Post Operative Instructions

LEETZ PROCEDURE-POST OPERATIVE INSTRUCTIONS

1. You may have scant to mild vaginal bleeding or discharge for even up to 3 weeks. Use regular Kotex pads, not tampons, during this time. There may be an odor associated with this discharge.

2. For cramps use your pain medicine as directed. You may also use a heating pad, set on low, as needed.

** FYI: ADVIL OR ALEVE LIQUIGELS WORK WELL FOR CRAMPS**

3. You should not douche, use tampons or have sexual intercourse for three weeks, following the procedure. Condoms should be used if you have intercourse between 3 and 4 weeks, and in most cases, until follow-up pap smears are normal. Vaginal cream may be prescribed for you.

4. A protective gel is now available that may be used as a lubricant for sexual activity. Divine 9/Carragel has scientific evidence suggesting that it may block HPV viral transmission. This may protect you and your partner(s).

5. You should rest at home today and possibly tomorrow.

6. If you have problems or questions, do not hesitate to contact the office at (941) 330-8885.

7. We will call you within one week and advise you of your biopsy results, as well as your follow-up treatment plan.

**REMINDER**

* Stop smoking!
* Your first period may not be normal
* Take vitamin C 500 mg and Folic Acid 1 mg everyday
