Patient's question:
Last month, I had a thorough examination for mild cervical inflammation and took medication for half a month. This time, I was asked to undergo an HPV test. The doctor recommended that I use phototherapy. Which is better, phototherapy or medication?Doctor's answer:
Cervical cytology examination and human papillomavirus (HPV) screening are currently the most commonly used initial screening methods for cervical lesions. They can be performed individually or simultaneously. It has now been confirmed that the majority of cervical cancers are caused by high-risk HPV infection. HPV testing is one of the screening methods for cervical cancer and precancerous lesions. If the screening results are normal, treatment is generally not required.
