Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 29 years old this year, and I have been divorced for several years. I have never wanted children. Last year, we wanted a baby, but we have not been able to get pregnant. We are very anxious. Is it because I had cervical erosion in May last year?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion can be treated using physical methods, the most common of which include laser, cryotherapy, infrared coagulation, or microwave therapy. Precautions for physical treatment: A routine cervical scraping should be performed before treatment for cytological examination. It is contraindicated if there is acute reproductive tract inflammation or tumors, and treatment should be temporarily avoided in such cases. The treatment time should be chosen within 3-7 days after the menstrual period ends. Physical therapy postoperatively may result in increased vaginal discharge, even large amounts of watery discharge. A small amount of bleeding may occur during the desquamation period 1-2 weeks after the procedure. During this period, activities such as tub baths, sexual intercourse, vaginal irrigation, and douching are prohibited. Another method is drug treatment, which involves locally applying corrosive agents such as silver nitrate.
