Patient's question:
I gave birth to a child in 2006, had a miscarriage in 2007, and in 2009, a thorough examination at the hospital revealed cervical erosion, but they didn't recommend treatment. However, recently I've been experiencing severe itching in the external genital area, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. The result showed a more severe case of second-degree cervical erosion. I underwent three days of red light therapy, cryotherapy, and nebulization, in addition to saline injections. The doctor prescribed two more days of medication and suggested surgery. But is surgery absolutely necessary? Because I plan to have another child in a couple of years. Urgent.Doctor's answer:
Hello. Cervical erosion can be treated with medication or physical methods. Medication can be applied locally using a polyphenol sulfone vaginal suppository, preferably under the guidance of a doctor or self-administered. Medication treatment is mainly suitable for non-pregnant patients with mild to moderate cervical erosion, but it generally has a longer course and higher cost. Physical treatment options include laser, cryotherapy, and microwave therapy, with laser treatment being the most commonly chosen. Generally, one to two treatments can lead to improvement. I hope this is helpful to you. The recurrence of cervical erosion poses a serious threat to women's health, and patients should avoid sexual activity during treatment.
