Patient's question:
Patient Age: 26I had a cesarean section a year ago. During that year, I had an abortion under anesthesia, and I have fully recovered. A year later, I got pregnant again and had a medication abortion at 21 days. It was about a D&C with no bleeding. Five days later, I had sex without any bleeding. Nine days later, I had light bleeding, and I've been experiencing a persistent odor during this time. Is this normal?
What kind of assistance do you need: Why is there always an odor? Did it break the skin?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, avoid sexual activity within half a month after a D&C procedure to prevent tearing of the cervix and the spread of infection. Based on your current condition, the main concern is inflammation causing a decrease in discharge and persistent odor during the healing period. Rest and nutrition should be prioritized, and maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia. You can use Jieryin for cleaning, while taking Amoxicillin and Yimucao Granules for treatment. Alternatively, intravenous administration of penicillin and tinidazole can be used for anti-inflammatory treatment. Additionally, after the bleeding stops, you can use Biaozhai Tai effervescent tablets for intravaginal administration for treatment.
