Patient's question:
I have cervical erosion of the second degree. I just had microwave treatment today, and now I have some abdominal pain. I want to have a child in the future. The first question is how long after the microwave treatment is it appropriate to have sexual intercourse and conceive? The second question is that I checked online and found that it may affect fertility. So, after the microwave treatment, how much has my fertility reduced? Thank you...Doctor's answer:
Hello, after microwave therapy, a large amount of vaginal discharge often occurs due to wound healing and repair reactions. At this time, patients should maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, wash the external genitalia frequently, but do not use vaginal suppositories or perform vaginal irrigation by themselves. Wash underwear frequently, and use sanitary napkins when necessary. During this period, sexual intercourse should be avoided as much as possible, because sexual intercourse not only affects the healing of the cervical wound due to mechanical stimulation, but may also cause vaginal inflammation, thereby affecting the repair of normal cervical tissues.
