How long should I follow up after cervical erosion surgery?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I had surgery about half a month ago to remove cervical erosion. Could you please tell me how long it's best to wait for a follow-up check after the surgery? Besides the surgery, what should I pay attention to in daily life? Thank you, Doctor.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is recommended to visit the hospital for follow-up examination around 4 to 6 weeks after surgery. Pay close attention to any changes in secretions or unusual odors during this period, as some bleeding may occur in the short term, often accompanied by cervical crusts. It is advised to avoid staying up late during these days and to delay sexual activity. Surgical treatment is quite effective in addressing erosion, generally helping to prevent recurrence. The recurrence of cervical erosion significantly affects women's health, so it is important to undergo follow-up examinations after menstruation, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
