Patient's question:
After the procedure, vaginal itching reappears. The procedure was performed along with cervical erosion, and sexual activity resumed within a few days. Subsequently, bleeding lasted for over a week. Now, vaginal itching has reappeared again. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
Always maintain external genital hygiene and have sexual intercourse. After an induced abortion, the cervix has not fully healed, and the endometrium also has a healing process. During this period, it is particularly important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genital area. Sanitary napkins and other supplies, as well as underwear, should be washed and changed frequently. Avoid sitting baths within the first half month after the procedure to prevent dirty water from entering the vagina and causing infection. If sexual intercourse occurs too soon after an induced abortion, it may lead to acute endometritis, pelvic inflammation, and even infertility. Therefore, no sexual activity should take place within the first half month after the procedure. In addition, when treating vaginal itching, besides immediate medical treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important.
