Patient's question:
Female, 48 years old, recently discovered during a hospital check-up that she has cervical erosion of degree II. She is a bit worried, as it is said that this can be treated. She wants to ask if cervical erosion of degree III requires surgery.Doctor's answer:
You don't need to be treated, which means there's no cancer, but it's recommended that you get an HPV test again. HPV is the human papillomavirus, which is closely related to cervical cancer. If there's no HPV infection, you can rest assured. If there is, even if the Pap smear is normal, you should take antiviral medication.Additionally, if you sometimes have a foul odor in your vaginal discharge, you can use suppositories like Baofukang, and that shouldn't be a concern. It may cause scars that affect cervical elasticity. If you undergo treatments like LEEP, which involve removing part of the cervix, it could lead to cervical elongation or cervical insufficiency, making it easier to miscarry during pregnancy. Baofukang or topical medications can help.
Moreover, as you age, hormonal changes can lead to cervical erosion, which may also reduce without treatment.
