Patient's question:
I have severe cervical erosion, which was diagnosed last year. I have been using various medications intermittently without much improvement. Recently, it seems to be getting worse, with increased leukorrhea and peeling. I visited a local hospital, and the doctor said this condition is like a cold and cannot be cured completely. Is hospitalization required for LEEP treatment of severe cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
LEEP is a minimally invasive procedure that does not require hospitalization and allows patients to leave immediately after the surgery. Severe cervical erosion generally does not respond well to conservative treatment, so surgical intervention is often adopted. Surgical treatment is effective and thorough. Before the procedure, a cervical TCT test is necessary to rule out cervical malignant inflammation. After the surgery, some patients may develop scars on the cervix, which can affect its elasticity and potentially lead to restricted cervical dilation during childbirth, increasing the likelihood of a cesarean section. However, it will not affect the ability to conceive. Some patients have a smaller surgical removal area, and if the cervix recovers completely, it will not affect future childbirth. As for the cost, there are several treatment methods for cervical erosion, but the specific approach depends on the patient's symptoms.
