Persistent bleeding after cervical polypectomy using the LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) technique may result from postoperative cervical irritation. Therefore, patients should maintain local hygiene to prevent infection. Prolonged bleeding could indicate coagulation dysfunction or inflammatory infection; thus, a complete blood count (CBC) is recommended, along with anti-inflammatory medication as part of the treatment plan. Additionally, patients should keep the external genitalia clean and dry to prevent infection.
