Patient's question:
These days, my wife and I have been having sex, but she always refuses, saying she's not feeling well and it hurts. I took her to see a gynecologist, who diagnosed cervical erosion. The doctor prescribed some medication for her to take home, but it hasn't improved after she took it. I want to ask what are the treatments available for cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is a relatively common chronic cervicitis in clinical diagnosis and one of its clinical manifestations. The common treatment methods include vaginal medication, local physical therapy such as microwave or laser, or surgical treatments like cervical conization or the LEEP procedure. Generally, when treating cervical erosion with medication, it is necessary to follow a course-based approach. Each course lasts for 7 to 10 days, with 2 to 3 courses required per month. After the completion of the course, a follow-up examination is recommended. If the treatment duration is too short, the effect may not be significant. For patients with severe cervical erosion, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's recommendations for timely treatment. Avoid using medication blindly.
