Patient's question:
Female, 41 years old, has been feeling unwell for a while. She has been experiencing frequent vaginal discharge and the frequency is increasing. The discharge is also smelly. She underwent a TCT test and found it to be cervical erosion. Should she have surgery for moderate cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion requires timely treatment, otherwise it may lead to serious systemic diseases such as endometritis, adnexitis, and pelvic inflammation. The treatment method should be determined based on individual conditions. Those who have fertility requirements should choose cautiously to avoid adverse effects due to improper treatment selection. Medications such as Zhi Miao Shuan can be used, and topical medications should be placed in the vagina for treatment. For cases of cervical erosion that have progressed to degree 2 or higher, medication is often ineffective, and local physical therapy should be adopted.
