The recurrence rate after cervical conization varies among individuals, but it is relatively low. Some studies have shown that the recurrence rate after cervical conization ranges from approximately 1% to 20%, with the exact figure depending on various factors such as the severity of the lesion, surgical quality, postoperative care, and the patient's lifestyle habits.
If patients strictly follow medical advice after surgery, maintain good personal hygiene, avoid sexual intercourse too soon, and adopt a healthy lifestyle, the likelihood of recurrence may be further reduced. In addition, regular follow-up visits to the hospital are also an important measure for preventing recurrence. After undergoing surgical treatment, patients should actively cooperate with their physician's treatment plan and pay attention to postoperative care and follow-up examinations.
