Patient's question:
Yellow discharge for several days, then it started having blood streaks, but there was no pain or discomfort. The past two days, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. They couldn't do a routine discharge test, only a general gynecological check-up. The doctor said there was some cervicitis and cervical erosion, and prescribed povidone-iodine.It's the third day of medication. When I just got into bed this morning and went to the bathroom, the discharge was yellow. Throughout the morning, the discharge was normal, but just now when I used the restroom, it turned yellow again. Besides some chunky and flaky substances, I could feel that the vagina was full of solid chunks with my fingers. Why is this happening?
I want to ask the doctor:
1. Can povidone-iodine suppositories be used for cervicitis and cervical erosion?
2. Is this a normal situation now? Is it shedding of cervical tissue after medication? Or is it that the medication disrupted the vaginal flora, causing a fungal vaginal infection? So, there is...
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is a pleasure to help you solve your problem. According to your description, your condition involves the medication being applied, followed by the shedding and expulsion of cervical erosion tissue. Recommendation: This medication should be used diligently and will not cause candidal vulvovaginitis. After it is expelled, pay attention to cleaning the external genitalia and maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia. During treatment, sexual intercourse is not allowed. Yellow discharge is a common gynecological disease, and during medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining the cleanliness of the external genitalia and change their underwear frequently. Finally, I wish female patients a speedy recovery!
