Why can infection occur after cervicitis surgery? What to pay attention to after surgery for cervicitis

Cervicitis generally occurs in women of childbearing age, and the cervix is an important barrier to prevent foreign bacteria from invading the reproductive system. Cervicitis is mainly divided into acute inflammation and chronic inflammation, and patients are prone to infection after external forces, surgeries, marital life, and childbirth.

What is the reason for postoperative infection of cervicitis?

Many patients with cervicitis may experience infection after surgery, mainly due to the inflammation itself. After the surgery, the wound requires a long time to repair and heal. During this time, natural vaginal secretions and blood may flow out of the body in large quantities, accompanied by severe abdominal pain, and some patients may also experience itching or abnormal vaginal discharge. In order to avoid these symptoms occurring after infection, it is necessary to promptly go to the hospital for further consultation and choose some medication with the assistance of a doctor to alleviate them.

It is inevitable for patients to experience various symptoms after undergoing cervical surgery, especially within 15 days after the surgery, the discharge of secretions from the vagina will gradually increase, and vaginal discharge will also become yellow purulent. Some patients will also discharge bloody vaginal discharge, but over time, these symptoms will gradually return to normal. Unless the patient has a high fever, the vaginal discharge has no odor, and the amount of bleeding is not significant, generally without major problems. Just rest and take medication according to the doctor's advice, do a good job of cleaning the external genitalia, prohibit sexual activity, and avoid vigorous exercise.

In addition, patients with cervicitis must also know not to have sexual intercourse too early after surgery, otherwise it is easy to cause secondary infections. In addition, if a large amount of bleeding occurs during the treatment process, it is necessary to immediately report it to your attending doctor for immediate treatment.
