Patient's question:
When getting the IUD inserted, I found cervical erosion of degree 2 and excessive vaginal discharge. The doctor still inserted the IUD, saying it was fine, and prescribed some drips for me, including: metronidazole and cefixime. I was also given oral medication, which included two boxes of Smilax glabra. The doctor said the drips would last for 3-5 days.Previous treatment and effectiveness: After taking the drip for one day, I didn’t feel much improvement. The vaginal discharge was still excessive, and I had mild abdominal pain.
Type of help needed: I want to know if the medications prescribed by the doctor can treat cervical erosion? Will cervical erosion worsen after getting the IUD inserted?
Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion does not affect the insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD). If you have vaginitis, you must first treat the vaginitis before inserting an IUD. Cervical erosion of degree 2 or higher requires surgical treatment. For local treatment of cervical erosion, an effective medication is Xiaomi (Xiaomi is a Chinese brand name and may not have a direct English equivalent, so it is kept as is). It is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and avoid irritating foods. Get plenty of rest! The above advice is for the question "Can a degree 2 cervical erosion have an IUD inserted?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
