Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I got the GyneFix IUD in September. After inserting the IUD, my first period was heavier than usual. After the period, I had a follow-up check-up and there were no problems, but about 7-8 days after the period, there were blood streaks in my leukorrhea, sometimes bright red. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Leukorrhea with blood streaks is likely related to cervical erosion. You can ask a gynecologist to use a speculum for a definitive diagnosis. If cervical erosion is confirmed, it can be treated with microwave or cryotherapy. After healing, the leukorrhea will naturally no longer have blood streaks.In daily life, pay attention to keeping the external genitalia clean and dry. It's best to wear cotton underwear and change it frequently. Washed underwear should be exposed to sunlight for drying, which helps in treating and preventing gynecological diseases.
