Patient's question:
I had severe vaginitis, which was treated and became mild. However, after discovering I was pregnant, I had an abortion. A week later, a re-examination showed everything was normal, but the doctor asked me to wait another week and focus on using the medication for vaginitis. It has been a month since the abortion, and my period came. At first, it was normal, but by the fifth day, it turned brown, and I felt it wasn't my period. Now it is the seventh day. What is going on? Is it serious? Can it return to normal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Currently, based on the situation you described, there is a brown discharge. Generally, it is considered to be inflammation. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination to check for conditions such as cervical erosion, adnexitis, pelvic inflammation, or endometritis. Medications can be taken orally, or treatment can be administered, along with vaginal medication. There are many treatments for vaginitis, but since the patient's condition varies, the diagnostic methods used will also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that the appropriate treatment can be administered.
