Patient's question:
I have moderate cervical erosion and have not been pregnant before. I don't want it to affect future fertility. Can it be cured through medication? What should I do about moderate cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Methods for treating cervical erosion can be selected appropriately based on the degree of erosion. The main methods are as follows:Drug treatment: For small erosion areas with superficial inflammation, the following drug treatments can be used:
10–20% silver nitrate: Applied locally once a week, with 2–4 applications constituting one course.
Potassium permanganate: Applied locally after menstruation, followed by a repeat application after 1–2 months.
When using these drugs, it is important to exercise caution to prevent burns to the surrounding vaginal walls. Additionally, sterile conditions must be maintained during application to prevent reinfection.
Physical treatment: Used for larger erosion areas with deeper inflammation.
Surgical treatment: Applied when drug and physical treatments are ineffective, when the cervical erosion is deep or extensive, when the cervix is enlarged, or when there is suspicion of cancer.
