Patient's question:
Symptom Description: How to cure mild cervical erosion (leukorrhea degree 2)? After seeing a doctor and taking medication, it still recurs and cannot be cured. Sometimes it hurts during sexual activity. What should I pay attention to in daily life?Duration of the current illness and persistence: First issue supplement: It is cervical erosion
Doctor's answer:
Hello: For small erosion areas with superficial inflammatory infiltration, the following medication treatments can be used:① 10–20% silver nitrate: Apply locally once a week, with 2–4 applications per course.
② Potassium permanganate: Apply locally after menstruation, and repeat the treatment once after 1–2 months.
When using these medications, handle them with care to prevent burns to the surrounding vaginal wall. Additionally, ensure proper disinfection during application to prevent reinfection.
Regardless of medication, physical therapy, or surgical treatment for cervical erosion, it is essential to maintain external genital hygiene after treatment. Sexual activity, tub baths, swimming, and vaginal douching should be avoided until the wound is fully healed. Regular follow-up visits are recommended after treatment.
During the treatment period, if an odor is detected in the discharge, seek medical attention promptly. For medication treatment, remove the cotton balls from the vagina to prevent infection. After physical therapy, minor bleeding is normal. However, if bleeding increases beyond menstrual flow or persists for an extended period, consult a hospital immediately to identify the cause and stop the bleeding. After electrocautery treatment, patients should monitor their first menstrual period for any discomfort or dysmenorrhea to prevent cervical adhesion.
