Patient's question:
Can cervical erosion be treated with traditional Chinese medicine? Will it be as effective as this?Doctor's answer:
When the external appearance of the cervix looks like what is referred to as erosion, it is essential to first conduct a cervical smear test for a thorough examination. After ruling out the possibility of cervical inflammation, antibiotic medication should be administered to treat cervical inflammation. If the cervical erosion still causes excessive vaginal discharge or chronic cervical inflammation, cervical electrocautery or cryotherapy can be used.In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), treatment emphasizes a holistic approach. Cervical erosion is a term used in Western medicine, but TCM believes it is caused by damp-heat stagnation (affecting the liver and kidneys). If damp-heat is not present, how can erosion arise? Therefore, topical washing to reduce swelling and relieve pain is a very effective treatment method. It can treat various types of cervical erosion, vaginal inflammation, and chronic cervical inflammation.
In addition to promptly treating cervical erosion, patients should always maintain a positive attitude to face the disease.
