What should be paid attention to after microwave treatment of cervical erosion

Women with cervical erosion need to receive appropriate treatment if they have increased secretions, thick and odorous discharge, or contact bleeding. Currently, there are many treatment methods in clinical practice, generally local treatment, and physical therapy is the most commonly used.

Among them, microwave therapy has the advantages of simple operation, safety, easy to master, good hemostatic effect, short repair period, and smooth wound repair. However, in order to consolidate the treatment effect, the following aspects should be paid attention to after treatment:

1. Keep the area clean

After microwave treatment, due to the healing and repair reaction of the wound surface, a large amount of vaginal secretions may appear. At this time, you should pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva, wash the vulva, change underwear frequently, and use sanitary pads when necessary. However, it should be noted that you should never use vaginal suppositories or perform vaginal douching on your own.

2. Avoid sexual intercourse

Sexual intercourse should be avoided within 2 months after microwave treatment. This is because the cervical wound takes a long time to heal, about 2 months. If you have sexual intercourse during this period, it will not only affect the healing of the wound, but may also cause vaginal inflammation.

3. Seek medical attention promptly

If the patient follows the doctor's advice (keep the vulva clean and avoid sexual intercourse) but still experiences increased secretions for more than 2 months, she should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination in time to understand the recovery of the cervix and decide on an appropriate treatment plan under the guidance of a professional doctor.

The principle of TIPS-microwave therapy is that high-frequency electromagnetic waves are transmitted to the diseased tissue through a special probe, causing the molecules and ions of the diseased tissue in the treatment area to absorb the microwaves and move at high speed, generating internal heat and reaching high temperatures instantly, causing the tissue to coagulate, degenerate, necrotize, and fall off.
