Patient's question:
I have mild cervical erosion and recently want to undergo radiofrequency coagulation therapy. It is said that the treatment for cervical erosion is generally most effective 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period ends.Hello, if treatment is not done within this time frame, for example, on the 10th day, what are the disadvantages?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, whether it is mild, moderate, or severe cervical erosion, among several methods such as vaginal medication, laser treatment, and microwave treatment, the first two methods achieve comparable efficacy. However, the overall effective rate of microwave treatment is significantly lower than the first two, proving that microwave treatment is a relatively effective method for treating cervical erosion. Microwave treatment is generally performed within 3 to 7 days after menstruation, as it leaves a certain wound on the cervix after treatment. If it coincides with the menstrual period, there is a risk of reinfection. Therefore, patients should come to the hospital as soon as possible 3 days after menstruation to receive treatment.
