Patient's question:
I have had rheumatoid arthritis for a long time. Recently, I've been feeling discomfort and pain in my vagina, especially dryness, and the pain intensifies after sexual activity. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I found out that it's severe cervical inflammation, already eroded, and I'm worried it might be caused by rheumatoid arthritis.Doctor's answer:
This situation is considered a problem related to a sexually transmitted disease. You need to check if there is any history of unclean sexual contact. If there is a history of unclean sexual contact, then you are likely to have a sexually transmitted disease. In that case, you can consider finding a highly skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to implement herbal decoctions for internal consumption, combined with external washing and sitz baths for treatment. During the treatment period, sexual activity must be strictly prohibited. By persisting with this treatment, most cases can gradually be resolved.Facing the harm of cervical erosion, we should actively carry out examinations and treatment, and not avoid seeking medical attention. If cervical erosion does not improve after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
