Patient's question:
When giving birth, it was found that there was cervical erosion. After 8 months, surgery was performed. There was a discharge with a bad odor. Test results: 5-6 months of examination said cervical erosion was moderate. Treatment history and effectiveness: Used Xiaomi. What help is needed: Aware of what causes the bad odor. Is it normal?Doctor's answer:
After cervical physical therapy, a large amount of vaginal discharge often reappears due to scar formation and repair reactions of the wound.Recommendations: At this time, patients should always maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, wash the external genitalia frequently, but should not use vaginal suppositories or perform vaginal douching on their own. Wash underwear frequently, and when necessary, use sanitary pads.
Since the healing of the cervical wound takes a long time, it is best to avoid sexual activity as much as possible during this period. Sexual activity not only affects the healing of the cervical wound due to mechanical stimulation but may also lead to vaginal inflammation, thereby impacting the normal repair of cervical tissues.
If the above measures are followed and the duration of vaginal discharge is less than two months with no significant improvement, it is necessary to seek medical re-examination.
