Introduction
Cone biopsy usually refers to cervical conization. Whether hemostatic drugs can be taken for bleeding during the shedding of the scab after cervical conization depends on the specific situation. If the bleeding is severe, hemostatic medication is generally acceptable; if the bleeding is mild, medication is usually not necessary. It is important to maintain vaginal hygiene and frequently change underwear in the short term.

Cervical conization usually refers to a surgical procedure known as cervical cone biopsy. Whether hemostatic drugs can be taken for bleeding after the shedding of the scab following cervical conization depends on the specific circumstances. If the bleeding is severe, hemostatic medication is generally acceptable; however, if the bleeding is mild, such medication is typically unnecessary. Details are as follows:

1. Can take hemostatic drugs

Cervical conization is a relatively common minimally invasive surgery. During the procedure, cervical tissues may be damaged, resulting in a wound surface. If significant bleeding occurs after the scab detaches and the blood loss is substantial enough to interfere with daily activities, hemostatic drugs may be used under a doctor's guidance to help control the bleeding. Examples include vitamin K1 tablets or Yunnan Baiyao capsules.

2. Should not take hemostatic drugs

If the bleeding is only slight, not serious, and does not affect normal daily activities or work, it usually resolves on its own through natural absorption and does not require hemostatic medication.

In the short term, maintain good hygiene of the vaginal area and frequently change underwear to prevent infection. Avoid sexual intercourse until fully recovered. If symptoms recur, seek medical attention promptly.
