Patient's question:
I have mild cervical erosion, and the doctor prescribed medication with anesthesia, saying it would be fine in a week. However, I have been taking Chinese medicine to regulate my menstrual cycle. Are these two medications affecting each other? Do the medication for cervical erosion and the Chinese medicine for regulating the menstrual cycle have any side effects?Doctor's answer:
There are several reasons that can lead to cervical erosion, including early sexual activity, having multiple sexual partners, unhygienic sexual practices, some repeated induced abortions, and excessive vaginal cleaning. These are all significant factors contributing to cervical erosion. Additionally, a lack of attention to personal hygiene can also lead to the recurrence of cervical erosion. Induced abortions can weaken the cervix's ability to prevent diseases, allowing bacteria to invade and cause cervical erosion.Treatment recommendations include avoiding long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs, as this can lead to drug resistance and microbial imbalance, potentially causing more severe infections. Oral medication is generally considered, with treatment typically lasting 3-4 courses for most cases, and 2-3 courses for milder conditions. Each course lasts 14 days. Regular gynecological check-ups should be conducted.
