Patient's question:
Two years ago, a thorough examination revealed moderate cervical erosion, with negative results for Candida and trichomoniasis, and a cervical discharge score of 3. Due to fear of surgery, I have been taking traditional Chinese medicine for regulation. Now, my cervical discharge has decreased compared to before, and the odor is less noticeable. However, there have been two instances where blood streaks appeared in the discharge, and during intercourse with my husband, white were observed again. These were not as viscous as cervical discharge but somewhat similar, appearing watery and very white. As I am eager to have a child, I am unsure whether to first treat the cervical erosion before trying to conceive. What is the best way to treat this condition? Can it be treated with medication instead of surgery?Doctor's answer:
First, let me tell you that you don't need to be nervous because cervical erosion is a common inflammation in gynecology. It can be caused by miscarriage, normal delivery, or the insertion or removal of an IUD. If you plan to get pregnant, I suggest you go to the hospital first for cervical cancer screening, which means getting a TCT test and an HPV check. If both tests are negative, you can rest assured and get pregnant. There are several treatment methods for cervical erosion, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the treatment methods used will also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that they can be treated accordingly.
