Patient's question:
Post-uterus surgery and cervicitis surgery, now on the 16th day, there is still yellowish discharge coming out. What's going on? Will it be a problem? Also, it's a bit itchy? What's the reason for that??Doctor's answer:
After surgery, you need to rest for 2 weeks, maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and consume more nutritious foods to help the body recover as soon as possible.After a miscarriage, sexual activity, sitz baths, vaginal douching, and medication should be avoided until menstruation resumes. This is because the cervix is relaxed, the endometrium is shedding, and the local defense ability is weakened, making it easy to cause retrograde infection, which may lead to pelvic inflammatory diseases such as endometritis and adnexitis. Severe cases may result in infertility.
The amount of bleeding after a miscarriage should be less than that of a normal menstrual period, and the bleeding duration should be less than 2 weeks. Abdominal pain should generally not exceed 3 days. If the bleeding exceeds these standards, it may indicate retained products of conception, incomplete uterine involution, or uterine infection. In such cases, it is important to actively seek medical examination and diagnosis for symptomatic treatment.
