Patient's question:
When I had an abortion, a thorough examination revealed severe cervical erosion, possibly due to bleeding during pregnancy. In the follow-up examination, it was only mild cervical erosion, but there is vaginal inflammation. The doctor suggested that surgery would be faster and would definitely not recur.History of Treatment and Effect: Due to the abortion, I also received a week of anti-inflammatory injections for help.
Current Situation: Today, I went to the hospital, and the doctor recommended LEEP treatment. However, it is said that LEEP technology is mainly for women who have given birth. If I undergo this treatment, there is a possibility of recurrence after future pregnancy. Moreover, it is said that mild cervical erosion can be treated with medication. I am very troubled and don’t know which treatment method to choose.
Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is a common and easily occurring chronic inflammation in women, primarily caused by long-term irritation from reproductive tract inflammation. Mild cervical erosion does not require treatment and only needs periodic follow-up examinations, as it does not affect fertility. Based on your description, if there are no abnormal symptoms of leukorrhea, treatment may not be necessary. Your previous examination showed severe cervical erosion, which has now improved, indicating that cervical erosion in women of childbearing age can potentially heal on its own. Therefore, if mild cervical erosion is treated, topical medication is sufficient. Surgical intervention can affect the elasticity of the cervix, potentially impacting a natural birth.
