What should I pay attention to after phototherapy of cervical erosion?

1. Cervical erosion refers to cervical columnar epithelial ectopia. Phototherapy generally refers to laser treatment. Patients with cervical columnar epithelial ectopia need to pay attention to rest, local hygiene, and a light diet.

2. Cervical column epithelial ectopia refers to the migration of cervical column epithelium to the outside of the cervical canal due to the effect of estrogen. It is a common physiological phenomenon. Since the column epithelium is thin and the lower stroma is red, it looks more like erosion. Patients generally have no special symptoms, but since the cervical column epithelial tissue has low resistance and is susceptible to pathogens, it may cause cervicitis, such as increased secretions and contact bleeding. At this time, medical treatment is required. Under the guidance of a doctor, metronidazole suppositories, ornidazole suppositories and other drugs are used for treatment, and laser treatment is required if necessary to improve the patient's symptoms.

3. After laser treatment, patients need to pay attention to rest, avoid fatigue, and not do strenuous exercise to avoid wound bleeding. Also pay attention to local hygiene, wash the vulva with clean water every day, try not to choose a tub bath, and wear pure cotton, comfortable and breathable underwear. We also need to pay attention to a light diet and balanced nutrition. We can eat more foods rich in vitamins and proteins, and avoid spicy and irritating foods to avoid affecting the patient's recovery. At the same time, sexual life should be avoided within 3 months after treatment.
