Patient's question:
surgery and cervical erosion were done together. During the 7-day follow-up, the doctor said there was too much white discharge accumulated in the vagina and feared it would affect cervical repair, suggesting going to the hospital to clean the vagina and insert medication. I want to ask if it's necessary? Will this make the vagina dry and affect future sexual life and fertility? Is it necessary to clean the vagina after having an abortion surgery and cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Follow the doctor's advice. Within one month after an abortion procedure, you should not have sexual intercourse or take a bath. After an abortion, the cervix remains relatively loose, and the vagina contains blood, which is the best medium for bacterial growth. If you have sexual intercourse during this time, it is particularly easy to cause upward infection, leading to pelvic inflammatory disease. After the surgery, pay close attention not to eat spicy, greasy, or frozen foods. Eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid alcohol.
