Patient's question:
My girlfriend has cervical inflammation. The doctor prescribed medication for her. The instructions state that sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. My girlfriend is very eager, and her desire is quite strong. I'm wondering if it's okay to proceed with proper hygiene and using a condom?Doctor's answer:
Friend, in your current situation, it is not advisable to engage in sexual activity for the time being. The treatment of cervical erosion is primarily based on local physical therapy, which causes the columnar epithelium on the erosion surface to become purulent, and after peeling off, it is covered by new squamous epithelium. The following methods can be used: electrocautery, cryotherapy, laser therapy, phototherapy, etc. Surgical treatment: For persistent cervical erosion that does not improve with treatment or when cervical scraping suggests cancer, a cone biopsy of the cervix may be performed. For patients, if the condition of cervical erosion is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be started, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of cervical erosion. Additionally, patients need to maintain a proper diet and keep a positive mood. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
