Patient's question:
Female, 43 years old, feeling unwell in her body recently. She has been experiencing frequent vaginal bleeding, which has become more frequent. She also has excessive vaginal discharge with a strong odor. She underwent a TCT test and found it to be cervical erosion. What are the treatments for cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Physical therapy involves using various physical methods to destroy the single-layered columnar epithelium in the cervical area, causing it to become purulent and slough off, so that it can be covered by new stratified squamous epithelium. Follow-up examinations are required after treatment. Common methods include electrocautery and cryotherapy. Although there is a certain recovery rate, there are also side effects. Local drug treatment is only suitable for cases with a small area of erosion and superficial inflammation. Clinically, it has been observed to be effective, but its efficacy is not yet clear.
