Patient's question:
I would like to ask the doctor how to treat cervical inflammation (cervicitis, erosion, cysts, polyps). This condition has been with me for many years, and I haven't taken it seriously because I haven't felt any discomfort. Sometimes, however, I notice a particularly unpleasant odor in my private area, and my vaginal discharge is also abnormal.Doctor's answer:
If there is cervical inflammation, it is necessary to maintain local cleanliness at all times, change underwear frequently, wear comfortable cotton underwear, and sterilize them with boiling water and expose them to sunlight to achieve a disinfecting effect. In cases of cervical erosion, cysts, and polyps, surgical treatment should be considered, and it can be decided within 3 to 7 days after the menstrual period. Additionally, cervical cancer screening and HPV testing should be conducted. Based on the specific examination results, symptomatic treatment should be provided.In addition to promptly treating cervical inflammation, patients should maintain a positive attitude in facing the disease, as this will enable timely symptomatic treatment. At the same time, they should pay close attention to their dietary care, primarily focusing on light and nutritious foods.
