Patient's question:
Previously, due to yellow discharge and lower back pain, I visited the Gynecology Department of Dongfang Hospital and had a routine vaginal discharge test and an HPV test. The routine vaginal discharge test showed no trichomonas, no Candida, and cleanliness level 3.Doctor's answer:
Vaginal medications are mostly traditional Chinese medicine or a combination of traditional Chinese medicine and antibiotics. They often have effects such as clearing heat, drying dampness, reducing swelling and pain, promoting blood circulation, and regenerating muscle tissue. They are non-invasive, easy to use, and well-accepted by patients, making them suitable for mild cervical erosion.For moderate to severe cervical erosion, the therapeutic effect of medication is often poor and takes a long time with high costs. Physical methods are recommended for better outcomes.
Physical methods destroy the epithelium on the surface of cervical erosion, causing it to necrose and fall off, allowing new squamous epithelium to cover it. This process takes about 6 to 8 weeks, and the cervix becomes smooth. Common methods include electrocautery, cryotherapy, laser, and LEEP.
