Patient's question:
I had surgery on April 15th. By April 26th, I started bleeding, but at first it wasn't much—just enough for a pad. However, on April 27th and 28th, the bleeding amount increased significantly. I don't know why this is happening or how to solve it. I received intravenous fluids for five days after the surgery, but the doctor didn't prescribe penicillin, saying I had a fungal infection and shouldn't use it. Instead, he gave me cephalexin. Could it be that the inflammation wasn't fully resolved after the surgery? Please help me.Previous Treatment and Effects:
I had a TCT test, which indicated inflammation and a fungal infection.
The Help I Need:
How much bleeding is considered normal? What should I do to resolve this?
Doctor's answer:
Postoperative anti-inflammatory prophylaxis to prevent infection, if there is a mold infection, do not use broad-spectrum antibiotics such as ceftriaxone. Clindamycin, gatifloxacin, and other anti-inflammatory drugs can be selected, and they can be used in combination with intravenous tinidazole. Apply medication intermittently after surgery to promote wound healing and prevent vaginal inflammation. If there is a lot of peeling (less than menstrual flow) and blood clots, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a doctor to examine the cervical wound carefully. If the scab peels off in a large area, thoroughly remove the purulent tissue, and then control the medication with gauze to cover the wound. Remove the gauze after 24 hours. If there is only peeling and focus on controlling it until the peeling stops. At the same time, vaginal anti-inflammatory drugs should also be used to prevent infection.
