Patient's question:

Age 25, not pregnant
No history of pregnancy or induced abortion
Two years ago, cervical erosion was diagnosed as severe, and medication has been administered since then. Cervical smear tests are conducted annually. In July 2004, the cervical smear test results showed no abnormal cells. The doctor did not recommend physical therapy, stating that the condition was not severe and would not affect fertility.
However, after each sexual intercourse with her husband, there are small streaks of blood.
Please provide detailed information on the precautions and health care measures to be taken after physical therapy. What is the general cost of microwave therapy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally speaking, it takes about 2 months for healing after microwave therapy. During this period, it is best to avoid sexual intercourse as much as possible. Sexual activity 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 therapy, due to wound healing, a significant amount of vaginal discharge may occur, which sometimes causes inconvenience to the patient. When performing microwave therapy, the doctor should clearly explain this to the patient to avoid the patient misunderstanding it as something abnormal. The patient should maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia, wash them frequently, but should not use vaginal suppositories or perform vaginal irrigation on their own. It is recommended to change underwear frequently and use sanitary pads when necessary.
Within one or two months after microwave therapy, the patient should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to check the healing condition of the cervical wound and, under the guidance of the doctor, decide on further treatment.
Specific costs can be consulted with the treating hospital.
