Patient's question:
I have cervical erosion, which has been going on for several years. I have taken some medication, but it keeps recurring without improvement. It seems to have worsened after giving birth. My child is now five years old. I have visited many hospitals, and during a recent follow-up check-up, it has progressed to degree II. I want to undergo physical therapy to completely cure it, but I am afraid of the side effects. Are there any good methods of traditional Chinese medicine for treating this condition?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is a normal physiological phenomenon, which is a condition of cervical columnar epithelial metaplasia and does not require treatment. You can go to the hospital for cervical precancerous screening, which includes an HPV test and cervical cytology. If high-risk HPV infection is detected and cervical cytology shows precancerous changes, the next step involves a colposcopy-guided cervical biopsy. Based on the pathological results of the biopsy, further treatment will be determined. If both tests are normal, follow-up examinations can be conducted every three to five years.
