Patient's question:
I am a 21-year-old female who has been feeling very tired for a while. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I found out that I had an illness. Please ask: Is the LEEP treatment effective for cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Physical therapy involves using various physical methods to destroy the single-layered columnar epithelium in the cervical area, causing it to become purulent and slough off, so that it can be covered by new stratified squamous epithelium. Follow-up examinations are required after treatment. Common methods include electrocautery and cryotherapy. Although some methods have high cure rates, they also have side effects. Local drug treatment is only suitable for cases with a small area of erosion and superficial inflammation. Clinically, it may be effective, but the effect is not significant. Patients should maintain sexual hygiene, control sexual activity appropriately, strictly avoid extramarital sex, and prevent sexual intercourse during menstruation.
