What is the best treatment for cervicitis?

Patient's question:

Because I had two miscarriages two years ago, I developed cervical erosion. During a thorough examination, it was found to be moderate. After taking medication for seven days and receiving some intravenous drips, it improved to mild. Last year, it worsened due to pregnancy, and during the re-examination at the full moon, the erosion became moderate to severe. The doctor recommended that those who have already become pregnant can undergo electrocoagulation treatment.

Doctor's answer:

The principle of treating cervical erosion is to adopt various methods to destroy the columnar epithelium on the eroded surface, causing it to become purulent and slough off, which facilitates the growth of new squamous epithelium to cover the granulation tissue, achieving the goal of cure. The more effective methods include:
1. Physical therapy, which is suitable for moderate and severe erosion and generally requires only one treatment to achieve cure. Additionally, electrocautery can be used, where the cautery tip is applied to the eroded surface to coagulate the tissue and form a scab. The disadvantage is that scarring may sometimes lead to cervical stenosis.
Cervicitis is a very serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely treatment and follow their doctor's recommendations for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to self-care, including proper diet, to avoid worsening the condition.
