What Causes Soreness And Inflammation Post Vaginal Granulation Tissue Removal?

I had vaginal granulation tissue cut out and silver nitrate treated a week and a half ago. My hysterectomy was 11 months ago. I feel so sore still after the granulation removal. How long is it typical to feel kind of raw and inflamed after the treatment?

Hello,

The usual recovery period is about 2-3 weeks post silver nitrate therapy for vaginal granulation tissue procedure. Following guidelines help for better and faster recovery:
- Clean the parts with antiseptic liquid or soap
- Local application of polymycin or neomycin cream
- Sitz bath with epsom salt and lavender oil
- Antibiotic as cephalexin to prevent secondary bacterial infection
- Anti-inflammatory medications as serratiopeptidase with Diclofenac
- Maintain hydration
- Urinary alkaliser if early signs of urinary tract infection
- Avoidance of vaginal sex is of paramount importance
- Control of blood sugar

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
