How to handle yellowish-purulent leukorrhea after cervical loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP)

Patient's question:

Due to uterine adenomyosis and cervical erosion, I underwent endometrial ablation and cervical LEEP surgery in a Grade III hospital 40 days ago. Since the surgery, I have been experiencing lower abdominal and waist pain, and there has been a watery discharge mixed with light blood from the vagina. One month after the surgery, I went to the hospital for a follow-up check-up. The doctor said my cervix had healed well, but there was a bit of purulent discharge. The discharge test showed 3+ white blood cells. An ultrasound examination revealed that the uterus was smaller than before the surgery. However, in the recent few days, I have been experiencing lower abdominal and waist pain again, with yellow purulent discharge. After receiving five days of anti-inflammatory injections, there has been no improvement.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your symptoms, there is an inflammation caused by surgical activity and infection. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene, get adequate rest, and enhance nutrition.
Oral medications such as metronidazole and ciprofloxacin can be used for treatment. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a check-up. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, it is important to drink plenty of water and maintain good personal hygiene.
