Patient's question:
Female, 53 years old, recently experiencing increased vaginal discharge, which is mucopurulent in nature, sometimes bloody or mixed with blood streaks. After examination, it was diagnosed as cervical inflammation. How is moderate chronic cervical inflammation usually treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the current cervical anti-aging screening program implemented in gynecology is TCT and HPV. TCT results indicating inflammation do not require excessive concern. HPV is the cause; a positive HPV test result proves HPV infection, and active treatment should be initiated. The commonly used method currently is intravaginal medication treatment, using interferon. Generally, at least 3 months of medication is required, followed by retesting after stopping the medication. If the result turns negative, it is sufficient. If it remains positive, close monitoring and treatment are necessary.
