Patient's question:
My aunt is 36 years old this year. She pays close attention to hygiene and is even a bit obsessive about cleanliness, but for some reason, she was carefully examined and found to have cervical erosion. Now she needs to be treated with medication. Hello doctor, how long is the course of treatment for cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is mainly caused by chronic cervical inflammation and is related to frequent sexual activity, but it does not necessarily correlate with poor hygiene. Before treating cervical erosion, a TCT test should be performed to rule out cancer. If the cervical erosion is caused by inflammation and is mild, local treatment with Xiaomi (a Chinese medicine preparation) can be used. The treatment typically lasts for one week, with a course of medication. After treatment, a follow-up gynecological examination should be conducted to confirm complete recovery. If the cervical erosion is moderate or severe, physical therapy or surgical treatment is generally required.
