Patient's question:
Female, 41 years old, has been feeling unwell for a while. There is frequent vaginal bleeding, which has become more frequent. There is also increased vaginal discharge with a strong odor. She underwent a TCT test and found it to be cervical erosion. Should moderate cervical erosion be surgically treated?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion requires timely treatment, otherwise it may lead to serious systemic diseases such as endometritis, adnexitis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. The treatment method should be determined based on individual conditions. Those with fertility requirements should be cautious in their choice to avoid adverse effects due to improper treatment selection. Medications such as Zhimi can be used, and topical medications should be inserted into 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.
