Patient's question:
Female, 29 years old, I have mild cervical erosion, and it's very painful. It's accompanied by itching, but I dare not scratch it. I've taken medication, but it hasn't improved. How should cervical erosion be treated?Doctor's answer:
Most chronic cervical inflammation with cervical erosion is often excluded for bacterial, viral, or chlamydial infection. Therefore, it is necessary to treat the infection first. After identifying the specific pathogen through smear culture, antimicrobial drugs should be used for treatment. Once the infection is cured, the cervical erosion can be treated.There are many treatment methods for cervical erosion, including drug methods, physical methods (laser, cryotherapy, electrocoagulation, microwave, etc.), and surgical methods. The first two methods mainly aim to destroy the columnar epithelium on the eroded surface, causing it to become purulent and slough off, thereby creating conditions for the regeneration of squamous epithelium to cover the surface. Surgical treatment is currently less commonly used.
