Patient's question:
The previous month, my period lasted for two days and I felt itchy. When I went to the hospital, they said it was cervical erosion and I was prescribed medication for one course. After finishing the medication, the itching stopped when I had my period. Can I have sexual activity when the period is gone and there is no itching? When can I have sexual activity if I have cervical erosion and vaginitis?Doctor's answer:
After suffering from cervical erosion, a recurrence of odor may occur, which is caused by secondary infection. Under normal circumstances, the normal vaginal discharge is white or semi-transparent and odorless. However, the main symptoms of this condition include increased vaginal discharge, which appears as yellowish purulent material. It may also involve bloody discharge and post-coital bleeding, and is often accompanied by a fishy odor. Moderate to severe cervical erosion can lead to increased vaginal discharge, a yellowish color, a viscous consistency, and a foul odor, which can irritate the external genital area and cause intermittent itching. It is recommended not to take anti-inflammatory drugs for a long period, as this may lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, resulting in more severe inflammatory infections. In addition to timely treatment for cervical erosion, it is also important to pay attention to dietary care, focusing on light foods and avoiding irritating and cold foods.
