Patient's question:
I gave birth to my child at the end of last December, and during my postpartum period, the doctor mentioned that my cervix was slightly inflamed. It wasn't until August of this year that I had my period. In February, I had brown, dry blood, and it was very minimal—so little that I didn't even need to use sanitary pads. Then, my period still hasn't come this month. What could be causing the delay in my period? Could the cervicitis be the reason? What medication can treat it? Is there any medicine that can help regulate my period? Will the lack of a period lead to menopause? Will it affect my future fertility? I'm so worried.Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is not a disease of reading, but rather a severe manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation. Cervical erosion does not actually involve true erosion. The causes of secondary amenorrhea can be divided into hypothalamic amenorrhea, pituitary amenorrhea, ovarian amenorrhea, uterine amenorrhea, and other endocrine abnormalities such as thyroid disorders.Recommendations:
1. Do not use sanitary pads for a long time;
2. Avoid sitting for extended periods;
3. Do not use vaginal douches blindly.
It cannot be ruled out that cervical erosion affects menstruation. It is best to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and symptomatic treatment. Cervical erosion poses significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding foods. It is hoped that cervical erosion patients can receive professional treatment.
