Side effects of electrotherapy for cervical erosion

Cervical erosion electrotherapy may cause side effects such as increased vaginal secretions, slight bleeding, and lower abdominal distension. Most symptoms can be relieved by themselves. Cervical erosion electrotherapy is a physical therapy method that uses high-frequency current to coagulate or vaporize diseased tissue. It is suitable for some patients with cervical columnar epithelial ectopia or chronic cervicitis.

Light yellow watery secretions may appear within 1-3 days after electrotherapy, which is a normal reaction to wound exudation. Just keep the perineum clean. A few patients will have a small amount of bloody discharge within 1 week after surgery, which is related to the shedding of cervical scab, and strenuous exercise needs to be avoided. Some sensitive people may feel a dull pain in the lower abdomen or discomfort during urination, which usually subsides within 48 hours. In rare cases, improper operation may lead to cervical adhesion, which may manifest as difficulty in menstrual discharge or periodic abdominal pain. Some patients are sensitive to electrical stimulation and may experience dizziness, palpitations and other reactions during the operation, and need to stop treatment immediately.

Bathing, swimming and sexual intercourse are prohibited within 2 months after surgery, and the use of vaginal douches is avoided. Wash your vulva with warm water every day, choose pure cotton breathable underwear and change it in time. Seek medical attention immediately if you develop fever, persistent abdominal pain, or heavy bleeding. Cervical recovery needs to be reviewed 3 months after treatment. During this period, protein and vitamin C can be appropriately supplemented to promote mucosal repair.
