Patient's question:
After each sexual intercourse, there is a small amount of bleeding. Is it suspected to be caused by other conditions or due to tearing of the vaginal opening?Doctor's answer:
Hello, considering it may be caused by cervical erosion, which manifests as pain during intercourse and post-coital bleeding, a colposcopy can be performed to aid in diagnosis. If it is mild, the condition can be treated with a Xiemo (a type of medication) inserted into the vagina, along with oral anti-inflammatory tablets. Alternatively, spectral mist or microwave therapy can be used. For moderate to severe cases, physical treatments such as laser, microwave, cryotherapy, and LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure) can be employed. More advanced treatments now available include radiofrequency ablation and nanosilver cervical cell DNA repair surgery, which do not affect the elasticity of the cervix, sexual life, or fertility.
