Patient's question:
I have had my baby for a year, and after a thorough examination, there is mild cervical erosion. The doctor prescribed metronidazole suppositories. After inserting the metronidazole suppositories vaginally, can I have sex?Doctor's answer:
The reason why coital intercourse is temporarily prohibited after cervical erosion treatment is that there is generally a 3-8 week recovery period after the surgery. During this time, it is strictly forbidden to have sexual intercourse, take tub baths, or perform vaginal douching. This is necessary to allow the cervix to heal better and more thoroughly, providing sufficient space for complete recovery. If coital intercourse occurs, it may worsen the erosion and lead to serious consequences such as spreading. Therefore, it is recommended that female patients adopt a physical therapy combined with medication approach in a timely manner.
