Patient's question:
I have never been pregnant, and the condition has been present for two years. Should I opt for surgery or take traditional Chinese medicine? Can cervical erosion really prevent me from having children? Can cervical erosion be treated with traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
In clinical practice, if told that there is cervical erosion, there is no need for treatment because it is a normal physiological phenomenon. It is mainly caused by the abundant secretion of estrogen in women of childbearing age, leading to the migration of cervical columnar epithelium, resulting in red, granular changes on the surface of the cervix. This change resembles the appearance of erosion, hence the term "cervical erosion." For this normal physiological phenomenon, there are no clinical symptoms, so no intervention is needed, nor is there a need to take traditional Chinese medicine for treatment.
