Patient's question:
Previous treatment and outcomes: I had cervical erosion of degree II and vaginitis 20 years ago. I was treated with medication and topical applications. I have been postmenopausal for 3 years. During a gynecological examination last year, the doctor diagnosed vaginitis, and the uterus and urethra had already started to enlarge. The doctor recommended using Evinia externally, but I did not use it. This year, the gynecological examination confirmed vaginitis with cleanliness III and cervical erosion IIb. The doctor advised first alleviating the vaginitis before performing a cervical biopsy.Is my condition serious? I am postmenopausal and in menopause. At this age, do I really need a biopsy? What is the best way to treat this?
Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is a very common chronic cervical inflammation. Cervical erosion can heal on its own. As long as patients follow the doctor's advice during treatment, such as refraining from sexual intercourse, ice skating, taking tub baths, and vaginal douching, the cervical erosion of the vast majority of patients can heal on its own. Of course, due to the varying degrees of erosion, the treatment duration may be longer or shorter. Mild cervical erosion can be treated with a combination of medication and physical therapy, while moderate or severe cervical erosion is more commonly treated with surgical methods!
