Patient's question:
I had sex on January 24th and got my period on February 4th. I want to know if it's possible that implantation bleeding occurred after having sex on January 24th and happened around February 4th?Doctor's answer:
It may be cervical erosion, which is the shedding of the epithelial cells at the external os of the cervix replaced by another type of epithelial tissue. Due to the thinness of the newly formed epithelial covering, it can even be delicate. The underlying blood vessels and red tissue can be seen, appearing as if there is a significant amount of erosion, hence the term "cervical erosion." Treating cervical erosion is relatively difficult, and it has a high risk of malignancy. It is recommended to undergo microwave therapy, which can be somewhat effective.
