Patient's question:
The hospital prescribed a recovery gel for cervical erosion. After finishing one box and stopping the medication for the third day, I washed out a lump of white substance from the vagina. What is it?Doctor's answer:
This is composed of drug residues mixed with leukorrhea. It is a normal phenomenon, so there is no need to worry. This condition is normal. You can take medication specifically for this. Avoid sexual activity during medication and pay attention to vaginal hygiene. Cervical erosion is usually caused by repeated episodes of vaginitis, which then leads to cervical inflammation. Due to the stimulation of inflammatory secretions, the squamous epithelial cells of the external cervical os may shed and be replaced by proliferated columnar epithelium. The surface appears bright red, smooth, or uneven, resulting in cervical erosion.
