Patient's question:
My sister has a gynecological condition, cervical erosion. I suggested that she undergo physical therapy for it, but she feels that treating severe cervical erosion with physical therapy is too troublesome and the cost is also too high. Is medication effective for it? What medications are better?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is not a disease of reading, but rather a severe manifestation of chronic cervicitis. In fact, cervical erosion does not truly have erosion. When the shedding of the epithelial cells at the external os of the cervix is replaced by another type of epithelial tissue, due to the thinness of the newly formed covering epithelium, it can even be quite delicate. The underlying blood vessels and red tissue can be seen, appearing as if there is a large amount of true erosion, hence the term "cervical erosion." Under normal circumstances, columnar epithelium is primarily located within the cervical canal and is not visible to the naked eye.
