Patient's question:
Due to irregular and small amounts of postpartum bleeding, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor diagnosed it as cervical inflammation. However, no cervical bleeding was observed at that time. A week ago (when there was no bleeding), an ultrasound showed that the uterus had recovered well, and a vaginal discharge test was also normal. The attending physician was also unsure where the bleeding was coming from. She prescribed ornidazole suppositories and said, "Let's try it and see. If it doesn't work, come back." When I got home, I checked the instructions and found it was for treating bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis. But I don't have any vaginal infections.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the clinical manifestations of cervical inflammation are an increase in leukorrhea. Acute cervical inflammation presents with purulent leukorrhea, accompanied by lower abdominal and lumbosacral discomfort, or urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. Chronic cervical inflammation is characterized by creamy, viscous leukorrhea or yellowish-purulent discharge. In cases of severe cervical erosion or cervical polyps, the leukorrhea may be bloody or post-coital bleeding may occur. It is not advisable to take anti-inflammatory drugs for a long time, as this can lead to drug resistance and dysbiosis, potentially causing more severe infections. It is recommended to adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment, which avoids drug resistance and yields better results. Recommended traditional Chinese medicines include: Gynecological Qianjin Tablets/Capsules. Generally, 3-4 courses of treatment are recommended, with 2-3 courses for milder conditions. Each course lasts 14 days. It is important to maintain good personal hygiene, keep the external genitalia and vagina clean, and practice moderate sexual activity for couples. Avoid inappropriate vaginal cleaning.
