Which treatment method for cervical erosion is the most effective and most cost-effective?

Patient's question:

32 years old, married, diagnosed with cervical erosion degree 3 by the hospital. After treatment, it has recurred repeatedly. The discharge has a bad odor and is abundant. There are various treatment methods available now, but I don't know which one is the most effective and also economical.

Doctor's answer:

General methods include laser, cryotherapy, etc. Cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease, with causes such as mechanical irritation or injury, such as sexual intercourse, miscarriage, and birth lacerations, as well as bacterial invasion leading to cervical inflammation. In mild cervical erosion, patients generally have no obvious symptoms. It may only cause a slight increase in leukorrhea, which is often overlooked. Many patients with cervical erosion are discovered during routine examinations or when seeking medical attention for other gynecological conditions. The most obvious symptoms of moderate to severe cervical erosion are an increased amount of leukorrhea, yellow in color, viscous in texture, or mixed with blood streaks. In some cases, post-coital bleeding may occur. Long-term stimulation of the external genitalia by inflammatory leukorrhea can also cause pruritus ani. Additionally, since the cervical lymphatic vessels directly communicate with the parametrium, inflammation can spread to the pelvic cavity through the lymphatic system, leading to parametritis and symptoms such as lower back and sacral pain, as well as lower abdominal distension. In some cases, infertility may also be caused by cervical erosion.$(CRLF)For moderate to severe cervical erosion, physical therapy is generally the preferred treatment, such as laser, microwave, BOM light, red light, LEEP, etc. It is recommended that you visit a hospital and consult with a doctor to choose a treatment method suitable for you. After surgery, sexual intercourse, tub baths, and personal hygiene should be avoided. Rest and proper nutrition should be maintained. During the healing period of the wound (4–8 weeks), tub baths, sexual intercourse, and vaginal irrigation should be prohibited. Regular follow-up visits are recommended after surgery.
