Patient's question:
Detected cervical erosion of the second degree, used medication for a month, and there was no significant improvement upon re-examination at the hospital. If physical therapy is needed, which technique is better? I heard that technologies like microwave and laser may affect future fertility. Please advise; what should be done after developing cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if cervical erosion is not treated in a timely manner, it can spread downwards, leading to pelvic inflammation, resulting in miscarriage or infertility, and in severe cases, it can lead to cervical cancer. Mild cervical erosion is generally treated with medication, which can heal on its own. Medications such as metronidazole, sulfonamide drugs, furazolidone, and Xiaomi can be used for topical treatment. For moderate or severe cases, physical or surgical treatment is required. For women who have not yet become pregnant, it is better to choose physical therapy. For patients with cervical erosion, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to personal care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
