Okay, I know this sounds real bad, but I'm too shy to ask my doctor!
I know I can't have sex for 6 weeks so...I'm wondering if it's possible to masturbate without insertion after LEEP surgery?

The cervix is located in an entirely different area of the body than your clitoris, so as long as you don't insert anything into your vagina during the healing process (this goes for tampons, too) you're not going to be doing any damage.

Lees, go for it just don't put anything inside of you. And my dr. said no baths or pools either.
Be careful you don't want to get any infections now. Remember there are open wounds inside that need to heal.
Thanks, ladies! No insertions, and no swimming!
And one more thing...
Do you think kegel exercises might cause anything with the cervix?

I can't answer that for certain, unfortunately, as I'm not totally sure which muscles are used for Kegels. I *think* doing them won't affect your healing process because those muscles are used inadvertantly anyway (like, say, when you really have to pee but you can't find a place to go... Those are the muscles that tense up).
What about anal sex? Will it cause anything to happen?
