Patient's question:
Today I went for a follow-up check and found white discharge in the vagina. The doctor prescribed vaginal wash liquid and gel. Is it okay to use them? After 1 month of cervical erosion repair surgery, why is there white discharge in the cervix?Doctor's answer:
You discovered white discharge during a follow-up examination, indicating that the condition of the discharge is not very serious. The postoperative period is a recovery phase, during which sexual intercourse and should be strictly prohibited. If there are no obvious vaginal inflammatory symptoms, vaginal douching should not be performed to maintain the cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia. If inflammation is present, douching solutions can be used to provide some anti-inflammatory effects. Under normal circumstances, the vagina does not require douching; simply rinsing the external genitalia with warm water is sufficient. If white discharge increases significantly in the future, patients with cervical erosion can, while receiving professional treatment, use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily diet and never overeat or binge drink.
