Patient's question:
Gender: FemaleAge: 24
I was diagnosed with cervical erosion in 2004. I have seen doctors multiple times, and so far, I have used many medications. The doctors' examination results have been inconsistent—sometimes mild, sometimes moderate. They basically told me it's a chronic condition that cannot be cured with medication. The only option is to have a laser surgery after giving birth, followed by an annual cervical cancer screening.
I feel very distressed. My partner and I plan to have children in a few years, but due to this condition, I have been going to the hospital on and off for two years. If cervical erosion cannot be cured, could you please ask the doctor: apart from maintaining good personal hygiene, what other medications can I take?
Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is primarily characterized by symptoms such as increased leukorrhea, viscosity, occasional purulent or bloody leukorrhea, lower back pain, abdominal pain, and dyspareunia. The risk of cancer transformation is relatively high. For moderate to severe cervical erosion, it is recommended to undergo LEEP full repair surgery or high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) minimally invasive treatment. Both LEEP full repair surgery and HIFU minimally invasive treatment offer advantages such as a single treatment session without damaging the cervix, and they do not affect future fertility. However, compared to the two, HIFU technology has lower power, though the treatment time is slightly longer (approximately 30 minutes), it provides more precise cervical repair, making it particularly suitable for women who have not given birth. It is currently the safest and most effective ideal treatment method. Postoperatively, sexual activity,, and bathing should be avoided, along with maintaining good hygiene, getting plenty of rest, and enhancing nutrition. During the wound healing period (4–8 weeks),, sexual activity, and vaginal irrigation should be prohibited. Regular follow-up visits are required after the surgery.
