Patient's question:
Two years ago, I was diagnosed with cervical erosion, with a severity of about 2. A few days ago, I wanted to get an IUD, but suddenly remembered this, feeling upset about the potential negative effects on my body. This is also a private matter that is difficult for women to discuss. Could you please tell me if cervical erosion of degree 2 can be treated with an IUD?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion generally does not affect the insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD) because cervical erosion is merely inflammation of the cervix. As long as there is no inflammation in the uterine cavity, it will not impact the insertion of the IUD. However, after inserting the IUD, it is essential to pay attention to hygiene and actively treat cervical erosion. Local medication can be used for treatment, or minimally invasive physical methods such as laser, microwave, or focused magnetic resonance can be adopted.Cervical erosion is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, they should focus on self-care and maintain a proper diet to avoid worsening the condition.
