Patient's question:
A few days ago, I went for a physical check-up and found mild cervical erosion, negative Mycoplasma, degree I Papanicolaou staining, degree II cleanliness, and no other issues. However, the colposcopy revealed a small amount of broken skin on the cervix. My last menstrual period ended on May 13, and I had a detailed examination on the 15th. On the 17th, I had a single sexual encounter, and today, on the 19th, I noticed a tiny amount of broken skin when I went to the bathroom.What I need help with: I want to know what to do in this situation. Can I buy medicine and apply it myself? What kind of medicine should I use, something that can be bought at a pharmacy? Please help, thank you.
Doctor's answer:
It is crucial not to overlook cervical erosion. If treatment is delayed or improper methods are used, it may lead to a secondary infection, severely impacting health. The treatment method should be determined based on individual conditions. For women who are considering pregnancy, it is even more important to make cautious decisions to avoid choosing a treatment method that could affect fertility. It is recommended to adopt the advanced minimally invasive LEEP procedure, which utilizes radiofrequency ablation technology to target inflamed tissues. This treatment is safe, minimally invasive, short in duration, does not affect tissue elasticity, and leaves no scars. The therapeutic effect is highly satisfactory and does not pose any impact on future fertility. Cervical erosion is a common gynecological condition that is prone to occur. During treatment, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of nursing.
