Patient's question:
I've had my child for a year now. It's said that after giving birth, there are specific preventive measures for gynecological diseases that need to be taken. I've recently been reading books about prevention and found that common gynecological diseases are cervical inflammation and cervical erosion. Are cervical inflammation and cervical erosion the same? Which one is more serious?Doctor's answer:
The cervical inflammation commonly referred to includes cervical erosion, as well as cervical cysts and cervical polyps, so these two terms are essentially the same. Once cervical inflammation occurs, it is crucial to seek timely and active treatment. Mild cases can be treated with medication inserted vaginally, while severe cases may require laser, microwave, or LEEP surgery. It is important to pay attention to hygiene, especially during menstruation and before and after sexual activity. Minimizing uterine activity can effectively prevent the recurrence of cervical inflammation. The recurrence of cervical erosion poses serious harm to women's health. Patients should maintain clean external genitalia and avoid sexual activity in daily life. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive professional treatment.
