It is usually safe several years after cervical cancer surgery

The recurrence rate of cervical cancer surgery is generally low five years after surgery, and long-term survival can basically be achieved, but the specific time is related to the degree of malignancy, surgical method, postoperative care and physical fitness.

Cervical cancer surgery is mainly used to treat early cervical cancer. Common surgical methods include cervical conization, total hysterectomy, radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. Cervical conization or radical cervical resection can be performed for younger patients in the early stage who require to retain their fertility. Generally, recovery will gradually occur one week after surgery. It will take about two months for the wound to heal completely. It will take three months for the body to recover. Usually, full recovery can be achieved after five years, but within five years, the patient needs to be reviewed every six months. The prognosis of cervical cancer surgery is closely related to the clinical stage and pathological type of the tumor. For example, cervical adenocarcinoma is prone to lymph node metastasis in the early stage, and the prognosis is generally poor, and its specific recovery time cannot be determined.

Patients are advised to eat a light and balanced diet after surgery and avoid sexual intercourse, heavy physical labor or bathing in a tub within three months. At the same time, pay attention to regular check-ups, take medication as prescribed by the doctor, and keep abreast of the recovery of the disease.
