Patient's question:
Cervical erosion of degree II has no significant effect with medication because I haven't been pregnant yet and am planning to have a child. The doctor said that if surgery is necessary, it can be done through ablation and minimally invasive repair, which would not interfere with future fertility. After the surgery, will I still need to take medication? How exactly is the ablation and minimally invasive repair surgery performed? Is it simply removing it directly or something like that?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is a normal physiological phenomenon in young women and has nothing to do with cervical cancer. It does not require treatment. For women who have been sexually active for more than three years, it is recommended to undergo regular cervical cancer screening. If inflammation is detected, it should be treated promptly. There is no need to undergo ablation or minimally invasive repair surgery for "cervical erosion." Currently, there is a push to treat "cervical erosion" even in the absence of any symptoms. This may be due to outdated professional knowledge or, more likely, for financial gain.
