Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness.Could you please advise on how to treat chronic cervicitis with mild cervical erosion and cervical hypertrophy? I've been troubled by this for a long time, and it's causing me great distress. I'm seeking a solution.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, local vaginal irrigation and topical medication: the most commonly used treatment methods. Irrigation solutions include 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, 1:1000 povidone-iodine solution, 1% acetic acid solution, or 0.5–1% lactic acid solution. For mild superficial cases, cotton swabs can be used to apply 5–10% tincture of iodine or 5–10% silver nitrate solution to erode the erosive areas locally, once a week, which can promote the healing of the erosive areas. However, when using these medications, it is essential to prevent the solution from leaking onto normal mucosa outside the inflamed area.
