Patient's question:
My older sister had a cervical erosion surgery last week, but she is now very craving hot pot or crayfish. I don't know if she can eat these things. Are there any taboos for fruits? She wants to eat mangoes. What should she avoid eating after cervical erosion surgery?Doctor's answer:
There are no special dietary restrictions at this time. Just be mindful not to eat blood-activating foods and avoid cold and cooling foods as much as possible. Then, it's important to keep the external genital area clean. There's no need to wash inside the vagina. Avoid sexual activity, tub baths, swimming, hot springs, etc., for the first month. You can take showers. Around 10 days after the surgery, there may be a period of crust shedding, which could result in some vaginal bleeding. If the bleeding is heavy, you should seek medical attention. Cervical erosion is a common gynecological condition that can easily occur. During treatment, women should pay close attention to their self-care. It's recommended to focus on maintaining good hygiene in the genital area and follow a light diet.
