Patient's question:
Female, 55 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing intense itching in the outer genital area and around the vaginal opening, and the discharge also has a strong odor. Please ask: How is it better to treat cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Severe cervical erosion, if not treated promptly, may have the potential to become cancerous. For moderate to severe cases, LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) treatment is recommended. It is an efficient minimally invasive physical therapy that causes minimal damage to surrounding tissues, does not affect cervical elasticity, and preserves the patient's fertility.Avoid sitting for long periods. Prolonged inactivity can lead to poor blood circulation. Women who sit for long hours may experience poor ventilation in the perineal area, blocked blood flow, and are more prone to reinfection.
For patients with cervical erosion, in addition to timely treatment, it is essential to pay attention to self-care. During the treatment period, maintain good hygiene and keep the private area clean. Lastly, it is strongly recommended that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
