Patient's question:
Female, 40 years old, my menstrual cycle has always been irregular. I never took it seriously before. Recently, I noticed that my vaginal discharge has been increasing, and there is also a foul odor. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told it was cervical erosion. Do I need to take anti-inflammatory medication after undergoing physical therapy for moderate cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Physical therapy generally does not require the use of anti-inflammatory drugs, as doctors operate under sterile conditions. Physical therapy is inherently high in temperature, making it unlikely to be contagious. After the treatment, there may be increased discharge, so it is important to maintain external genital hygiene daily to prevent sexual intercourse and sitz baths, reducing the possibility of transmission. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular sleep patterns, take precautions against cold exposure, consume light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water.
