Patient's question:
My wife experienced persistent abdominal pain two months ago, and sometimes there was a strong odor down there. She went to the hospital for treatment and was told she had cervical inflammation. I'm worried that it might develop into cervical cancer, so what are the treatments for cervical inflammation?Doctor's answer:
For cervical inflammation, most cases are chronic inflammation. Generally, this type of inflammation is primarily diagnosed clinically as cervical erosion, cervical cysts, cervical polyps, or cervical hypertrophy. Cervical erosion is the most common condition. If it persists, it may develop into cervical cancer, so it is necessary to undergo an annual cervical TCT test to rule out the possibility of precancerous lesions. The treatment for this condition is primarily physical therapy, which can include options such as microwave, laser, cryotherapy, or red light therapy. However, if the condition is severe, surgical treatment with the LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) may be considered.
