Is electrocautery good for cervical erosion?

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that I have cervical erosion, which is really painful. Is it good to treat cervical erosion with electrocautery?

Doctor's answer:

Cervical erosion is generally not recommended to be treated with electrocautery. Cervical erosion is also known as cervical columnar epithelial cell metaplasia, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. If there is no increase in leukorrhea or purulent leukorrhea, it is considered normal. No medication is needed. Pay attention to hygiene before and after menstruation and before and after sexual intercourse, wear loose cotton underwear, and change underwear frequently. Cervical erosion is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual intercourse during treatment and pay attention to cleanliness. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
