Patient's question:
Two weeks ago, I had an abortion at the hospital under anesthesia. After discharge, I went for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said I had cervical erosion and vaginitis. However, the itching of the external genitalia started after getting pregnant, and my discharge was also excessive. Everything was normal before, but I don't know how long after the abortion I can have the cervical erosion surgery?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is one of the manifestations of chronic cervical inflammation. It is not a very serious disease itself, but if it is not taken seriously and timely treatment is not implemented, it can have a significant impact on normal life and reproductive system health. Generally, cervical erosion is always accompanied by varying degrees of cervical inflammation. Once diagnosed, it requires early treatment. Experts remind that women during their menstrual period should not undergo cervical erosion treatment, and it is best to wait a month after an abortion before undergoing such treatment. If you use laser therapy for cervical erosion, you should not have sexual intercourse for at least three months to allow for recovery. The daily treatment for cervical erosion patients primarily involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications and supplement with vitamins, while also paying attention to their diet by eating light, soft, and easy-to-digest foods.
