Patient's question:
Hello:What precautions should be taken after microwave treatment for cervical inflammation?
Doctor's answer:
Hello:After microwave treatment, attention should be paid to
reducing irritation to the cervix. Generally, it takes about 2 months for healing after microwave treatment. During this period, sexual intercourse should be avoided as much as possible. Intercourse not only affects the healing of the cervical wound due to mechanical stimulation but may also cause vaginal inflammation, thereby impacting the repair of normal cervical tissues.
After microwave treatment, a large amount of vaginal discharge often occurs due to wound healing, which may sometimes cause inconvenience to the patient. When performing microwave treatment, the doctor should clearly explain this to the patient to prevent them from mistakenly thinking something is wrong. The patient should maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, wash them frequently, but should not use vaginal suppositories or vaginal douches on their own. Underwear should be changed frequently, and sanitary pads can be used if necessary.
In the first one or two months after microwave treatment, the patient should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to check the healing of the cervical wound and, under the guidance of the doctor, decide on further treatment.
