Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: This time when I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said I had a bit of cervical inflammation and prescribed Dafen (Recombinant Human Interferon a2b) and iodine solution. When I got home, I searched online and found that Dafen is used for cervical erosion, which is basically a very serious infection. I haven't felt any discomfort down there, nor have I had lower abdominal pain—only occasionally some purulent white discharge. Do I need to use Dafen? Is it related to my long period (about 12 days)? Should I treat mild cervical inflammation? Can it heal on its own if left untreated?First follow-up question: I just want to ask what this medicine is used to treat and whether it is suitable for cervical inflammation? Also, about cervical inflammation...
Doctor's answer:
Hello: According to the situation you mentioned, your current condition is mainly caused by cervical inflammation. Therefore, it is recommended that you actively treat your cervical inflammation. Western medicine treatment for this condition primarily focuses on local medication. Acute cervical inflammation is generally caused by purulent bacteria, and sulfonamide powder or nitrofurantoin can be applied or sprayed in the vagina and on the cervix once a day. If there is also a fungal, trichomoniasis, or gonococcal vaginitis, the primary condition should be treated first.
