Patient's question:
I got my period on the 12th, and it's already the 11th today, but my period hasn't arrived yet. Should I see a doctor tomorrow or wait until my period is over? The kind of help I want: I want to know about the treatment methods and expected outcomes, as well as the recommended follow-up visit schedule. How long does it usually take to treat cervical erosion with medication?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion can be treated with medication or physical methods. Medication can involve the local application of polyphenol sulfone vaginal suppositories (preferably administered by a doctor) or self-insertion of vaginal suppositories. Medication treatment is mainly suitable for non-pregnant patients with mild to moderate cervical erosion, but it generally requires a longer course of treatment and incurs higher costs. Physical therapy options include laser, cryotherapy, and microwave treatment, with laser treatment being the most commonly chosen. Typically, one to two laser treatments are sufficient for improvement. Cervical erosion is an easily recurring gynecological condition. During medication, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
