Patient's question:
I started wearing the IUD right after giving birth, and it has been more than 10 years so far. Recently, I found out I had a disease and had a thorough check-up. The doctor said I have cervical erosion. I want to remove the IUD and rest for a while. Can the IUD be removed during cervical erosion stage 4 without treatment?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is a relatively common gynecological disease in women. After being diagnosed with cervical erosion, timely treatment is necessary. Using an intrauterine device (IUD) may alleviate the symptoms of cervical erosion. Therefore, you can remove the IUD promptly before treating cervical erosion. It is best to wait for 3 to 7 days after your menstrual period to remove the IUD. After removal, appropriate anti-inflammatory treatment should be administered. Cervical erosion can be treated with anti-inflammatory tablets and smectite suppositories, or with physical therapy.Cervical erosion poses significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care. Increase your intake of vegetables and fruits while avoiding irritating foods. We hope that cervical erosion patients can receive professional treatment.
