Patient's question:
Hello doctor, after giving birth, I have cervical erosion of degree 3 and then had an IUD inserted. Lately, my discharge comes with blood streaks every few days and has a smell. After sexual activity, there is also bleeding. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Generally, patients with cervical erosion have a bad odor due to the spread of infection, and different odors indicate different degrees of cervical erosion. If a foul odor reappears, it indicates severe cervical erosion; while moderate and severe cervical erosion may also cause an increase in leukorrhea, yellowish color, viscosity, and a bad odor. Patients with cervical erosion should be aware of the odor and seek timely treatment. It is not advisable to take anti-inflammatory drugs for a long time, as this can lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, resulting in more severe inflammatory infections. It is recommended to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment, which will not cause drug resistance and achieve better therapeutic effects.
