Patient's question:
More than a year has passed since I had my second child. I was thinking of getting an IUD at the hospital because I felt that the usual measures were not enough to ensure safety. However, upon careful examination, I found cervical erosion, and it was moderate. Can I still get an IUD with cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
With cervical erosion, most women can still use an intrauterine device (IUD). Generally, cervical erosion is primarily a manifestation of chronic cervicitis. In such cases, it is advisable to consider using an IUD as a means of contraception. Additionally, since cervical erosion is now quite severe, it requires active treatment using methods such as microwave therapy or laser. At the same time, it is necessary to undergo an annual cervical TCT examination to rule out the possibility of precancerous lesions.
