Patient's question:
Patient Age: I noticed that my white discharge turned black ten days ago and went to the hospital for a diagnosis. They found mild cervical erosion with blood. Then a few days ago, after starting the anti-inflammatory medication prescribed by the doctor, the black discharge disappeared, but I started bleeding again. I can feel that the blood is different from my menstrual blood—it's much lighter and clearer. Today, I realized that the blood I'm bleeding is a bit similar to my period, darker in color and a bit sticky, but the amount is less than usual. The doctor told me that medication should not be taken during menstruation, so I stopped taking the anti-inflammatory medication a few days ago because I knew it was my period. However, I'm worried about whether this bleeding is actually my period or if it's severe bleeding...What kind of help is needed: Mild cervical erosion with irregular bleeding, impact during menstruation?
Doctor's answer:
This is a topical medication for treatment, with attention to menstrual and sexual hygiene. Locally, use local erosion with silver nitrate, chromium acid, etc. Before applying the medication, it is advisable to rinse the vagina. Then, dry it with dry cotton balls or use cotton balls to protect the normal vaginal mucosa. Many traditional Chinese medicine powders also have a certain therapeutic effect, but they are strictly prohibited during menstruation and pregnancy. After medication, sexual intercourse and tub baths are strictly prohibited. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
