Patient's question:
My friend recently noticed an increase in leukorrhea, which was purulent and had a bad odor. She also experienced lower abdominal pain, back and waist pain after sitting for a long time. During sexual intercourse with her partner, she had bloody discharge. The doctor said she had cervical erosion of degree 2.Doctor's answer:
(2) Physical Therapy: Used for treating large areas of cervical erosion with deep inflammation.① Electrocautery: Using a specially designed electrocautery device to burn the eroded tissue, causing it to become purulent and slough off. It must reach a certain depth for effective treatment.
② Cryotherapy: Using a specially designed rapid cryogenic device to freeze the inflamed tissue of the cervical erosion, causing it to become purulent and slough off. Liquid nitrogen is commonly used as the cryoprotectant, which can lower the temperature of the cryoprobe to -196°C. It is placed on the surface of the cervix to freeze the eroded tissue, causing it to become purulent and slough off, followed by the growth of healthy squamous epithelium.
③ Laser Therapy: Most commonly using a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser therapy device. A specially designed laser treatment head is used to irradiate the eroded cervical tissue, causing it to carbonize, form a scab, and slough off, followed by the growth of healthy squamous epithelium. Generally, one session is sufficient for cure.
