Patient's question:
I have moderate cervical erosion, and my vagina is very itchy. A thorough examination revealed a fungal infection, with fluid accumulation in the pelvis. I underwent a detailed examination at a private women's hospital and had the Relfex knife surgery performed. The doctor prescribed some medication: Clarithromycin capsules and Jieyin wash liquid. So far, the examination has cost 3,000. The doctor asked me to come back for medication change on the third day, which will take 3 to 5 more days. This expense is a bit too much for me to bear alone, so I didn't dare to go. Today is the second day after the surgery, and there is not much discharge, but it is still a bit itchy. If I don't go for medication change, I'm afraid of infection. I don't know what to do.What kind of help I need: Can taking some anti-inflammatory medication and using a wash after cervical erosion surgery help prevent infection?
Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is a very common gynecological inflammation in women and is closely related to sexual activity stimulation. Mild cervical erosion can generally be treated with medication suppositories. For severe cervical erosion, surgical treatment is considered only when medication alone is ineffective. The principle of physical surgical treatment is to "burn" the superficial eroded surface of the cervix. After the scab falls off, new skin is regenerated. After treatment, the purulent tissue needs a process to fall off, and bloody secretions require a certain period of time. Therefore, maintaining local cleanliness after surgery is sufficient. You can use povidone-iodine or other cleaning solutions to rinse the vagina and then take oral anti-inflammatory medication.
