Patient's question:
I went to check and found cervical erosion. The doctor prescribed medication, including oral medication, to be taken for six days. However, besides the first three days when my period might come, could you please tell me if I can take the medication during my period or if I should wait until after my period? Can I start taking the oral medication now?Doctor's answer:
The causes of cervical erosion are numerous. Mechanical factors such as sexual intercourse, childbirth, miscarriage, postpartum infections, or surgical operations leading to cervical injury, as well as bacterial or viral infections, can all cause cervical erosion. Additionally, chemical drug effects, such as the use of corrosive drugs in the form of tablets or suppositories placed in the vagina, can also trigger cervical erosion. Conventional Western medicine's anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatments not only fail to cure the condition but also, due to the long-term use of antibiotics, lead to drug resistance, thereby increasing the difficulty of treatment. Therefore, it is essential to adopt the correct treatment approach to achieve a complete cure. Traditional Chinese medicine and herbal medicine have accumulated many highly effective treatment methods through long-term clinical practice, with rapid results.
