Patient's question:
Female, 46 years old, I have mild cervical erosion, and it's very painful. With itching, I dare not scratch. I've taken medication, but it hasn't improved. Is it necessary to have surgery for second-degree cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion generally has three types: mild, moderate, and severe erosion. If the woman is in the reproductive age group and has mild cervical erosion with no symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. There are some physiological factors that can cause erosion. If the erosion is moderate to severe, it is essential to obtain a diagnosis from a formal hospital to rule out cervical cancer before undergoing physical therapy. Currently, the most commonly used treatments include microwave, laser, cryotherapy, and radiofrequency ablation. These treatments are generally effective, with one session possibly sufficient, or sometimes requiring two sessions. It is recommended that you visit a formal and large hospital for follow-up examination, diagnosis, and treatment.
