Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I have bacterial vaginosis and first-degree cervical erosion. On November 5, 2005, I had an induced abortion (I have no plans to have children yet, but I want to have a baby in May 2006). I would like to ask if I can be treated for bacterial vaginosis and cervical erosion now? Which one should I treat first? How should it be treated? I don't want to be treated in the hospital because the conditions do not allow it.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Your situation is that you should first treat your cervical erosion! It is recommended to use microwave therapy. Some people believe that cervical erosion treated with physical therapy methods (such as laser) may lead to infertility, but this is actually an incorrect view. Cervical erosion itself can lead to infertility and definitely requires treatment. However, if it is severe erosion, using medication may be costly, time-consuming, and require a lot of effort (if it is moderate to severe erosion, clinical experience shows that treatment may take 2 to 3 months, and some people with a good response may recover quickly, while others may need longer). Therefore, for those with severe cervical erosion who have not been able to conceive, it is recommended to use physical therapy methods such as laser, as they are effective quickly. When treating, you should inform the doctor about your fertility needs and have the treatment performed more superficially to ensure it does not affect the function of the cervix. Even if there is cervical adhesion, it can be resolved by a simple procedure.
