Patient's question:
The doctor said I have moderate to severe cervical erosion and recommended that I undergo electrocautery treatment. I had the treatment two days ago, and after it, I didn't feel anything different—no different from usual. Is this normal? Besides the treatment, what should I pay attention to? Should I be careful about my diet? And can I hold babies?Doctor's answer:
1, Physical treatment -- suitable for patients with moderate and severe cervical erosion. Common methods include electrocoagulation, laser therapy, and cryotherapy. The disadvantages are significant side effects, which may lead to reduced nerve sensitivity in the vaginal wall and affect sexual quality. Additionally, the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment.2, Surgical treatment -- if the above treatments are ineffective, or if there is cervical hypertrophy, or if the erosion is deep and extensive, and involves the cervical canal, cervical conization or total hysterectomy may be considered. However, surgical treatment is rarely used nowadays. Cervicitis is a condition that is difficult to cure.
