Patient's question:
A good friend of mine called me these days and said she was diagnosed with chronic cervical inflammation accompanied by papillary erosion and squamous epithelial metaplasia. At the time, I didn't know what to do, only busy comforting her. Now that I think about it, I should have consulted with doctors. How should chronic cervical inflammation accompanied by papillary erosion and squamous epithelial metaplasia be treated?Doctor's answer:
From the described situation, there appears to be chronic cervical inflammation, with recurrent erosion and squamous epithelial metaplasia, indicating that the inflammation is relatively severe. At this stage, it is first necessary to conduct a combined human papillomavirus (HPV) test to speculate on the possibility of HPV infection. If there is no HPV infection, treatment can be guided by a doctor using methods such as microwave therapy, laser treatment, or direct LEEP surgery. However, if HPV infection is present, a cervical conization surgery may be performed. For patients with severe cervical inflammation, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment.
