Patient's question:
Female, 43 years old, recently discovered during a hospital check-up that she has second-degree cervical erosion. She is a bit worried, as it is said to be treatable. She wants to ask how the surgery for third-degree cervical erosion is performed?Doctor's answer:
First, it is necessary to assess the degree and nature of the cervical erosion. Cervical erosion is classified into three degrees based on the depth of inflammation: mild, moderate, and severe. If it is mild and superficial erosion, even if the erosion area is large but the depth is shallow and there is minimal leukorrhea, it can be temporarily left untreated. If it is moderate or severe papillary erosion, it is necessary to undergo anti-aging tests and treatment. Currently, there are several methods for treating cervical erosion in clinical diagnosis, mainly including three approaches: drug treatment, physical therapy, and surgical treatment. Generally, mild cases can be cured through drug treatment. Drug treatment is divided into two categories: oral medication and local application. Clinical physical therapy is primarily used for cases with a large area of erosion and those with inflammatory infection.
