Patient's question:
Having sex for the first time 45 days after childbirth, followed by some blood streaks. By the third day, it was like having a menstrual period in terms of flow. A thorough examination at the hospital revealed a slight erosion of the cervix. I'm not sure if this is just the menstrual period arriving or if it's due to cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of cervical erosion mainly involves physical therapy, including laser therapy, cryotherapy, infrared coagulation therapy, microwave therapy, etc. These methods can be combined with some medication treatment. For severe cases, surgical treatment may be considered. After surgery, sexual activity, (bānyù - hot tub bath), and vaginal douching are strictly prohibited. Hygiene should be maintained, adequate rest is required, and nutrition should be enhanced. (bānyù), masturbation, and vaginal irrigation should be avoided during the healing period until the wound has fully healed. Regular follow-up examinations are necessary after surgery. In addition to symptomatic treatment for cervical erosion, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
