Patient's question:
Patient Gender: FemaleI am a severe case of cervical erosion undergoing treatment with Aprost. At the hospital, I was given Aprost solution and suppositories. Additionally, the doctor mentioned that my cervix has lacerations. However, I have not had sexual intercourse before marriage and have not undergone any surgeries or deliveries. How could this be the cause of the lacerations? Is it serious? Also, is Aprost effective for severe erosion, especially since I am not yet pregnant? Thank you.
Patient Age: 27
Doctor's answer:
First, don't worry, not all cervical erosion leads to cervical cancer. It requires concurrent infection with genital warts or human papillomavirus (HPV) to cause carcinogenesis. This condition is more common in women who have had frequent abortions or have borne many children. Suppositories are suitable for mild to moderate erosion. Most suppositories are not covered by medical insurance and require out-of-pocket payment. A box contains 10 suppositories and costs around 60 yuan, and it cannot guarantee that inserting several boxes will cure the condition. It's both a waste of money and time.
