Patient's question:
Female, 39 years old, has always paid attention to personal hygiene. She doesn't know why she got this disease. She has symptoms such as abnormal vaginal discharge with odor, lower back pain, and itching. The treatment has not been effective. She wants to ask what procedures are involved in treating cervical erosion.Doctor's answer:
First, TCT testing should be conducted before the treatment for cervical erosion to rule out precancerous lesions before proceeding with careful observation and treatment. During the treatment period, if menstruation occurs, it may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment, but it generally does not lead to transmission. If you are undergoing medication, you can take oral medication during your period, but vaginal medication should be avoided. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, and patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific condition to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, and consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods in their daily diet.
