Patient's question:
A small clinic, during the IUD insertion, it was found that there was cervical erosion. After the IUD insertion, there was an increase in leukorrhea.Doctor's answer:
Treatment methods for cervical erosion currently mostly employ physical methods such as microwave, cryotherapy, laser, high-frequency electric wave, and focused ultrasound, all of which have good efficacy. After the procedure, it is important to change underwear frequently, maintain local cleanliness and dryness, and if bleeding persists for an extended period, vitamin K and Duanliu (a traditional Chinese herb) can be taken to stop bleeding. The wound typically heals within 2-4 weeks. During this period, avoid hot water rinsing or soaking in baths, and sexual intercourse should be prohibited. Avoid spicy or irritating foods in daily life, as they can exacerbate pelvic congestion, inflammation, or cause excessive uterine muscle contraction, worsening symptoms. Foods that are hot in nature, promote blood coagulation, or contain hormone components, such as chili peppers, pepper, garlic, scallions, ginger, chives, chicken soup, durian, longan, jujubes, eel glue, and royal jelly, should also be consumed in moderation.
