Patient's question:
Female, 40 years old, my menstrual cycle has always been quite irregular. I never took it seriously before, but recently I've noticed that my vaginal discharge has been increasing continuously, and there's also a foul odor. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said it's cervical erosion. What kind of surgery is required for cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Friend, generally for mild cervical erosion, topical medication is commonly used as a treatment method. For moderate to severe cervical erosion, physical therapy is often employed. Currently, common physical therapy methods include microwave therapy and LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure). These treatments are painless, and both methods are effective. Microwave therapy is more economical, while physical therapy should be performed within 3-7 days after the menstrual cycle ends. Post-surgery, a recovery period of approximately 2-8 weeks is usually required. Depending on your specific condition, different treatment methods can be chosen. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
