Vaginal stump rupture due to sexual activity leading to small intestine vaginal hernia and intestinal necrosis in a woman after cervical cancer surgery: A case report

It is crucial to regularly guide and follow-up on patients' sexual behavior during the follow-up period after cervical cancer surgery. Gynecologists should fully inform the time for restoring sexual relations after cervical cancer surgery. Nursing staff should be guided to avoid premature and excessive sexual activity to the vaginal cuff to prevent rupture and other potential complications. Effective medical intervention should be implemented as early as possible for patients with vaginal sac rupture after cervical cancer surgery. Current research on sexual activity after cervical cancer surgery has many limitations and more detailed studies are needed. A specific questionnaire to assess sexual activity and a clinical study to determine the appropriate medication to restore vaginal elasticity are expected.
