Patient's question:
These past few days, I don't know why my leukorrhea has increased, I have lower abdominal pain, and also have lower back pain. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said it was uterine hypertrophy. Please ask how is uterine hypertrophy treated?Doctor's answer:
Physical therapy is suitable for moderate and severe erosion and is currently the most effective and shortest-course method, generally requiring only one session for self-healing.1) Electrocautery: The cautery tip is applied to the eroded surface to coagulate the tissue, forming a scab. After about two weeks, the scab begins to shed, and the wound typically takes 6–8 weeks to heal. The procedure should be performed 3–5 days after the menstrual period. It is contraindicated in cases of adnexal inflammation. After treatment, leukorrhea may temporarily increase or cause peeling. If peeling is excessive, sterile gauze can be used to control medication application, and it should be removed after 24 hours. The disadvantage is that scarring may sometimes lead to cervical stenosis.
2) Cryotherapy: A liquid nitrogen rapid cooling device is used to place the applicator on the eroded surface for 1–3 minutes. After natural rewarming, the applicator is removed, causing the inflamed tissue to freeze and necrose.
