Introduction
It has been half a month since the cervical cyst surgery, but bleeding continues. This may be caused by factors such as incomplete wound healing, resuming sexual intercourse too early, or postoperative infection. Timely and accurate diagnosis is necessary, followed by appropriate management including general care and medication. Besides the aforementioned reasons, persistent bleeding could also result from surgical failure, malnutrition, or chronic cervicitis, all of which require prompt examination and treatment.
Bleeding half a month after cervical cyst surgery may be caused by factors such as incomplete wound healing, resuming sexual intercourse too early, or postoperative infection. It is important to promptly obtain an accurate diagnosis and receive appropriate management through general care and medication. The specific causes are analyzed as follows:
1. Incomplete wound healing
Cervical cysts are a form of cervical inflammation involving inflammatory changes in the cervix. Since treatment for cervical cysts often involves local excision followed by laser cauterization and suturing, a certain healing period is required. During this healing process, the secretion from cervical glands may become blocked due to excessive proliferation of newly formed squamous epithelium, leading to minor bleeding. This type of bleeding is usually light and does not require special treatment—maintaining good local hygiene is generally sufficient.
2. Resuming sexual intercourse too early
Cervical cysts develop when cervical gland secretions are obstructed. If a patient resumes sexual activity too soon after surgery, repeated physical stimulation may dislodge the scab at the surgical site, resulting in bleeding. Mild bleeding typically stops with bed rest and reduced physical activity. However, if bleeding is heavy, medical treatment under a doctor's guidance is necessary, such as taking gynecological hemostatic medications like Fuke Zhixueling Capsules or Gongxuening Capsules.
3. Postoperative infection
If a patient fails to maintain proper personal hygiene after surgery, postoperative infection may occur. Inflammation can irritate the cervix and lead to bleeding, possibly accompanied by abdominal pain. In such cases, patients may be prescribed antibiotics under medical supervision, such as Azithromycin Capsules, Compound Cefaclor Capsules, or Clindamycin Hydrochloride Capsules.
In addition to the above reasons, persistent bleeding could also result from surgical failure, malnutrition, or chronic cervicitis. It is essential to seek timely medical evaluation and receive appropriate treatment under a physician’s guidance.
