Patient's question:
Yesterday, I just had a follow-up LEEP procedure for cervical erosion. The doctor said it was moderate erosion and it was necessary to have the surgery immediately. I paid 1,500 in surgery fees at the time. After the surgery, I was informed that I need to have an IV drip for seven days, with over 200 dollars per day, which is quite expensive. I understand that it's necessary, but do I really need to have the IV drip for seven days? What kind of help would you like: Please ask the doctor how I need to have the IV drip.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, did you undergo a cervical LEEP procedure? This type of minor gynecological surgery does not require intravenous fluids if the inflammation is not severe. Postoperatively, oral anti-inflammatory medication is sufficient. I recommend avoiding intravenous fluids and taking oral anti-inflammatory medication at home instead. Cervical erosion is a common gynecological condition that tends to recur. During treatment, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay extra attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, I wish female patients a speedy recovery.
