Odin Pain after cervical erosion surgery is usually a normal phenomenon during the wound recovery period, and may be related to factors such as postoperative inflammatory reaction, wound healing stimulation, or secondary infection. If the pain continues to worsen or is accompanied by fever, abnormal secretions, etc., you need to be alert to infection or complications.
Slight swelling pain or pulling sensation is common within 1-3 days after surgery. This is caused by local tissue edema after physical treatments such as electrocoagulation, freezing or laser on the cervical wound. Hemostatic materials used during surgery, such as gelfoam, may also stimulate nerve endings and produce dull pain. This kind of pain can usually be relieved by analgesics such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules and acetaminophen tablets prescribed by doctors, and most of them gradually reduce within 1 week after surgery.
If the pain does not relieve for more than 5-7 days, or if throbbing or persistent severe pain occurs, it may indicate secondary wound infection or cervical adhesion. Bacterial infection can cause an increase in purulent secretions and fever, and antibiotics such as cefixime dispersible tablets and metronidazole tablets need to be used to control inflammation. In rare cases, excessive electrocautery may damage deep tissues, causing abnormal sensitivity of cervical nerve endings. In this case, infrared physiotherapy is required to promote repair.
Straddle movements, heavy physical labor and sexual life should be avoided within 2-4 weeks after surgery. The perineum should be kept clean but vaginal douching is prohibited. Daily consumption of high-quality protein-rich fish, soy products, and vitamin C-rich broccoli can promote wound healing. If bright red bleeding or pain that cannot be relieved by painkillers occurs, you must return to the hospital for review immediately.
