Patient's question:
Currently, the general situation is: I have been undergoing microwave treatment for cervical erosion for 3 weeks. For the first 2 weeks, there was no bleeding, but in the last week, due to work and prolonged walking, there was a small amount of blood. Please ask if this will affect normal recovery? How long does it usually take to resume sexual activity?Doctor's answer:
After microwave therapy, a large amount of vaginal discharge often occurs due to wound healing and repair reactions. At this time, patients should maintain external genital hygiene, wash the external genitalia frequently, but should not use vaginal suppositories or perform vaginal irrigation on their own. Wash underwear frequently, and sanitary pads can be used when necessary. During this period, sexual intercourse should be avoided as much as possible, as it may not only affect the healing of the cervical wound due to mechanical stimulation but also may cause vaginal inflammation, thereby affecting the repair of normal cervical tissues. It is recommended to wait two months after surgery before resuming sexual intercourse. You can now have a routine vaginal discharge test to check if there is an infection.
