Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my girlfriend had a cervical erosion surgery (severe) and is currently in the shedding phase. It has been 19 days since the surgery, coinciding with her menstrual period. Can she take medication during the shedding phase? (She has been using medication since the surgery and only stopped during her period until now.)Doctor's answer:
I don't know what gynecological surgery you had, whether it was cryotherapy or laser, focused ultrasound, or loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP). Generally, during the healing phase, if there is a very small amount of thin, slightly bloody discharge, it is normal. After your menstrual period, it is recommended to have a gynecological check-up to monitor the healing process and apply medication if necessary. Alternatively, local medication can be placed in the vagina. For the patient, if the condition of cervical erosion is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered to prevent recurrence. Additionally, the patient should maintain a positive mood to avoid exacerbating the condition.
