Patient's question:
When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, I found out that I had chronic cervicitis. The doctor at the hospital told me that this condition might require treatment for more than a year to be completely cured. I have been using the medication prescribed by the doctor, but I don't feel like it's working very well. Is there any good solution?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that cervical inflammation is primarily caused by deficiency of qi and blood leading to damp-heat accumulation. Western medicine mainly adopts methods such as surgery, LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure), intravenous fluids, topical medications, and other anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatments, as well as physical therapy. These methods not only fail to cure the condition but also, due to the long-term use of antibiotics, can lead to drug resistance, thereby increasing the difficulty of treatment. Surgery and physical therapy may also cause new psychological trauma. Therefore, it is essential to receive proper treatment to achieve a complete cure.
