How to handle moderate cervical erosion discovered before an abortion

Patient's question:

My girlfriend has moderate cervical erosion, which was discovered before undergoing an abortion. She said we should do it together, otherwise it would be contagious. So we did it together at a public hospital. However, it felt like the hospital was pressuring me to do it, trying to get me to take out a loan if I didn't have enough money. They prescribed a lot of medicine. After the procedure, they said to come back for a follow-up check in three days and get more medicine. But now I'm only having a very small amount of thick and bloody discharge, with no pain, which seems normal. Do I still need to go back? The doctor there even added us on WeChat to urge us.

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation described, it is estimated that after cervical erosion surgery, medication should be applied for at least three days. It is still recommended to have a few follow-up checks at the hospital. If you do not trust this particular hospital, you can decide to go to another one. The condition of cervical erosion is quite serious, and it is advised that patients seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to self-care training, proper diet, to avoid worsening the condition.
