Patient's question:
Did you ever have an abortion, which will affect future fertility? I want to ask if pelvic inflammatory disease, severe cervical erosion, and vaginitis are better treated with traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine?Doctor's answer:
For cervical erosion, most cases are caused by cervical columnar epithelial ectopia, primarily requiring cervical smear screening. Women over 30 are recommended to combine HPV screening. If the screening results are normal, medication can alleviate inflammation without the need for physical treatment. It is necessary to actively treat pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and vaginitis, as both can affect fertility. Vaginal medication is mainly for vaginitis, but it can also help alleviate cervical inflammation. It is recommended to undergo systematic and thorough examinations in a regular hospital to rule out adverse inflammation while actively treating PID. PID patients can take symptomatic medication while using folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. A proper diet should be maintained in daily life to avoid stimulating foods.
