Patient's question:
Because of irregular menstruation, very little flow, prolonged duration (15-20 days), excessive yellow discharge, I went to the hospital this afternoon for a color Doppler ultrasound and a test for endocrine discharge. The ultrasound showed that the uterus was slightly smaller than normal, otherwise everything was normal; the endocrine test report will be available next Friday; the discharge was normal. After the gynecological examination, the doctor said my uterus was congested, swollen, and the discharge was excessive, indicating degree 2 cervical erosion, and recommended a colposcopy. I said to wait until next week when the endocrine report is available to do it together. I want to ask: 1. How is degree 2 cervical erosion usually treated to heal quickly and prevent recurrence? I haven’t had children yet, so it should not interfere with fertility; it’s said that laser treatment is good, but if the doctor is too aggressive, leaving scars could lead to infertility.~~ Besides the cost of treatment, we don’t have much financial resources here.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the local treatment method of applying medication vaginally is a non-invasive treatment, but this method is not effective for cervical erosion of moderate or severe degree; the traumatic treatment method involves using phototherapy, cryotherapy, laser, electrocoagulation, and other methods to perform local cervical treatment. This method may cause minor injuries to the cervix locally and sometimes interfere with the cervix's ability to dilate during labor, but it does not cause infertility. Instead, severe cervical erosion or acute infection if not treated can lead to infertility. Therefore, for women who have never been pregnant and suffer from cervical erosion without pregnancy or acute infection, cervical laser treatment can be performed after pregnancy.
