Patient's question:
Two winters ago, I had a cervical erosion surgery. Since then, I haven't had any sexual activity. A few days ago, I had sex with my husband, and experienced pain during intercourse along with some skin tearing. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
After cohabitation, pain accompanied by skin breakdown may indicate a possible gynecological infection. Currently, are there any other discomforts such as increased vaginal discharge, yellow discharge, odor, or itching? If the skin breakdown occurs only occasionally after cohabitation, there is no need to worry. However, if the skin breakdown occurs fewer than three times after cohabitation, it is recommended to seek medical attention for a thorough examination. The examination should include a routine vaginal discharge test, colposcopy, and gynecological internal examination. Based on the examination results, targeted treatment should be provided. During the treatment period, cohabitation is strictly prohibited, and a light diet should be maintained. For patients with cervical erosion, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet and ensuring adequate nutrition.
