Patient's question:
Doctor,I had physical therapy for cervical erosion two years ago, which was a surgical procedure. Later, I basically recovered. Now, my discharge is yellow. After the doctor's examination, they said the cervical erosion is not severe, and the colposcopy showed: the mucosa of the cervical canal is everted. They prescribed some topical medication (External Ulcer Powder) for me. I would like to ask if I should continue using it. What measures should I take in terms of treatment now? The doctor suggested that I have an electrocautery after giving birth. I am not very sure about what to do. I want to completely cure the erosion, so should I continue using the medication or have an electrocautery? If I have an electrocautery, will it affe
Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is most commonly and effectively treated with physical therapy. The doctor will choose the following methods based on your condition: laser therapy, cryotherapy, infrared coagulation therapy, and microwave therapy. Generally, it takes 3-4 weeks to heal, but if the erosion is deeper, it may take 6-8 weeks. The cervix will return to a smooth appearance. However, you should note that physical therapy should be performed 37 days after your menstrual period ends, and it is important to maintain external genital hygiene and avoid (bath).Lifestyle care: After physical therapy, it is common to experience an increase in vaginal discharge. Before the cervix wound heals, there may be a significant amount of yellow fluid discharged from the vagina. After treatment, 12 weeks of healing may result in a small amount of blood or slight bleeding. If the bleeding is heavy, seek timely treatment. Generally, follow-up is recommended 37 days after the completion of two menstrual cycles to check if the condition has been cured. If not fully cured, a second treatment may be necessary. After recovery, regular gynecological examinations are still required.
