Patient's question:
My mother's best friend recently chatted with her and mentioned that she had some itching between her legs, which was very uncomfortable. My mother suggested she go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Today, she went to the hospital for an ultrasound, and the results showed redness and swelling at the vaginal opening, which is cervical erosion. She feels a bit upset and wants to consult on how cervical erosion can be cured.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Cervical erosion is caused by long-term chronic cervical inflammation, and it is necessary to regularly undergo cervical cancer screening and a careful examination for HPV, which is the human papillomavirus. If both of these tests are negative, cervical erosion does not require treatment, and it is important to actively control cervical inflammation and have annual follow-up examinations. Cervical cancer transformation is related to HPV infection. If HPV is negative, there is generally no need for special treatment, and only annual health check-ups are required. If there is a strong need for a cure, cervical physical surgery can be performed.
