Working out - conflicting doctor's recommendation - Cancer: Cervical & Ovarian Message Board

As a follow-up to previous posts. I just got back from a consultation with my Dr. and I specifically asked him about exercise after LEEPs. He said that he didn't feel that there was any reason why I couldn't go back to running and weight lifting 2 days afterwards.

That's completely different from what I'm reading here.

Evert- My doctor told me the same thing, she said to think of it as if I skinned my knee---that there should not be any issues working out a few days later regardless of how hard I work out. To be on the safe side I waited 5 days and took it easy at first. I am now back to my full on regular work outs (I had my LEEP two weeks ago) and have had zero issues.

I am glad I did not wait one month, but I am also glad I started back in slowly---I have read some pretty bad experiences that other ladies on this board have had from working out too soon.
