Patient's question:
My cousin came to my house for vacation this summer and suddenly felt unwell. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said she had mild cervical erosion. However, my cousin is reluctant to go to the hospital again, so I'd like to ask: will mild cervical erosion naturally improve without treatment? Will it worsen?Doctor's answer:
Mild cervical erosion will not naturally improve without treatment. First, undergo a cervical TCT examination to identify the cause. If the mild inflammation is the cause, local use of Xiaomi (a medication for cervical erosion) can be administered. For moderate cervical erosion, physical therapy, such as the LEEP procedure, is required to treat the erosion. If left untreated, it may lead to cancer transformation or worsening of the condition. Regular follow-up cervical examinations are necessary to rule out cancer after treatment. After treatment, careful observation is required. The recurrence of cervical erosion severely affects women's health. Patients should pay attention to follow-up examinations after menstruation, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. We hope that female patients can receive effective treatment in the future.
