Patient's question:
Female, 35 years old, has always paid attention to personal hygiene. She doesn't know why she got this disease. She has symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge, lower back pain, and itching. The treatment hasn't been effective. She wants to ask if surgery is required for third-degree cervical erosion.Doctor's answer:
Prevention of cervical erosion first requires attention to cleanliness during daily sexual activity, excluding menstrual periods. If there is post-coital bleeding, a cervical liquid-based cytology test should be conducted. HPV testing must be performed to rule out cervical lesions before considering medication. The effectiveness of medication varies from person to person. If medication is ineffective, surgical treatment should be chosen. Surgical treatment involves loop electrosurgical excision of the cervix (LEEP) under the LEEP knife.
