Patient's question:
Once due to mycoplasma infection, cervical erosion degree 3 and hypertrophy occurred. Bomei light therapy was used. After examination, the mycoplasma has been cured, but the cervical erosion has not improved. The current examination shows degree 1. Could you please ask the doctor what kind of medication can be used? (Medications available at pharmacies) I am afraid of affecting fertility and dare not use physical therapy again. Thank you.First question supplement: Are there suppositories available?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, mild cervical erosion can be treated with local medication via the vagina. For small erosion areas with superficial inflammatory infiltration, the following medication methods can be used:① 10–20% silver nitrate: Apply locally once a week, with 2–4 applications constituting one course.
② Potassium permanganate: Apply locally after menstruation, and repeat the medication once after 1–2 months.
When using these medications, handle them with care to prevent burns to the surrounding vaginal wall. Additionally, ensure proper disinfection during application to prevent reinfection. After treatment, maintain external genital hygiene. Avoid sexual intercourse, tub baths, swimming, and vaginal douching until the wound is fully healed. Regular follow-up visits are recommended after treatment.
During treatment, if an odor is detected in the discharge, seek medical attention promptly. For those undergoing topical medication, remove the cotton balls from the vagina to prevent infection.
