Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. Last week I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told that my cervical erosion has reached degree three. Because the treatment I received in the hospital before was not effective, I want to switch to traditional Chinese medicine. So I would like to consult you, can degree three cervical erosion be treated with traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is not a disease; it is caused by normal cervical columnar epithelial metaplasia, a physiological shift, and generally has no symptoms. It does not require treatment. A TCT and HPV screening is recommended. If there is no cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, treatment is not needed. Traditional Chinese medicine cannot cure it. If you really want to treat it and have symptoms, you can use LEEP treatment. There are some methods that can achieve a one-time cure for cervical erosion. However, since the condition of each patient is different, the treatment method used will also vary. Therefore, patients need to have a timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
