Patient's question:
Mild cervical erosion underwent cervical cancer screening. Will it heal on its own without treatment? If not, how should it be treated? Has it been effective to use external genital washing? I have had a cold uterus for many years. Is there a reason for the reduced menstrual flow?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is primarily caused by deficiency of qi and blood, and accumulation of damp-heat in the lower body. Generally, it is difficult to cure with conventional medications. Treatments such as surgery, intravenous fluids, topical medications, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial therapies, as well as physical treatments, not only fail to provide a permanent cure but also, due to prolonged medication use, may lead to drug resistance, thereby increasing the difficulty of treatment. Physical treatments can also cause new psychological trauma and may interfere with fertility. Therefore, it is essential to receive proper treatment to achieve the goal of self-healing.Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has accumulated many unique and highly effective treatment methods through long-term clinical practice. These methods are fast-acting and produce reliable results. By combining these herbal medications, damp-heat can be completely eliminated, the cervical erosion can be rapidly repaired, qi and blood can be replenished, and ultimately, a balance of qi and blood can be achieved, addressing both the root cause and symptoms.
