What to check during the follow-up one month after cervical conization
Disease description:
I had a cervical conization surgery at the hospital last month, and today I need to go for a follow-up appointment. What is checked during the one-month postoperative visit after cervical conization?

Follow-up examination one month after cervical conization is an important step to evaluate the surgical outcome and assess cervical healing. The follow-up typically includes colposcopy to observe the recovery of the cervical area; cervical cytology and human papillomavirus (HPV) testing to evaluate for abnormal cervical epithelial cells and the presence of high-risk HPV infection; cervical histopathological examination, which involves analyzing the resected tissue sample to further understand the nature of cervical lesions; and pelvic ultrasound to assess the condition of the uterus and surrounding organs post-surgery. These examinations help ensure the success of the conization procedure and allow timely detection and management of potential complications. Patients are advised to attend follow-up appointments as directed by their physician to ensure a smooth postoperative recovery.
