Patient's question:
Female, 52 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing intense itching in the outer labia and vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Please ask: After being diagnosed with cervical erosion, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment of cervical erosion first requires a cervical smear to rule out precancerous lesions. Then, a specific etiological examination of cervical secretions should be conducted to identify the causative agent. If necessary, pathogen culture + drug sensitivity tests can be performed to select appropriate medications for treatment.Treatment options include local and systemic medications. However, for moderate to severe cervical erosion, physical therapy is generally more effective, such as laser, microwave, BOM light, red light, LEEP, etc. It is recommended that you consult with your doctor to choose the most suitable treatment method and undergo standardized treatment, which can help alleviate the condition.
For patients with cervical erosion, in addition to medication, it is essential to pay attention to self-care. During treatment, maintain good hygiene and keep the private area clean at all times. Lastly, it is strongly advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
