Patient's question:
I had my last menstrual period on September 28th. We had sex on the last day of my period without using any protection. Then, on October 22nd, I suddenly experienced vaginal itching. On October 29th, I had a thorough examination, which revealed cervical erosion. They also checked for pregnancy, and the result was negative, meaning I wasn't pregnant. That same evening, I used a cervical erosion medication (Kushen gel) once, but haven't used it since. I wanted to wait until after my period to use the medication properly. However, it's now November 4th, and my period still hasn't arrived. I'm also experiencing breast tenderness. I don't know what's going on. I've been quite stressed lately and haven't been sleeping well. In the past, my breasts would hurt before my period, but they never delayed by more than a week, with the longest delay being only five days. I'm very worried and don't know what could have caused this. I hope the doctor can give me some accurate answers. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello. The treatment for cervical erosion first requires a cervical smear to rule out precancerous lesions. Then, a detailed etiological examination of cervical secretions should be conducted to determine the causative agent. If necessary, pathogen culture + drug sensitivity tests can be performed to identify the most sensitive medications for treatment. Medication treatment includes local and systemic approaches. However, for moderate to severe cervical erosion, physical therapy is generally more effective. Examples include laser, microwave, BOM light, and electrocautery. Cervical erosion is an easily recurring gynecological condition, and during treatment, women should pay close attention to self-care, particularly in terms of hygiene.
