Patient's question:
Female, 25, married for one yearCervicitis (moderate), what should I do? Is there a possibility of cancer?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: There is no problem as long as the treatment is active! Cervical erosion is a common inflammation of the female reproductive tract, which is divided into three degrees—mild, moderate, and severe—based on the proportion of the erosion area on the cervix. Treatment methods include non-invasive and invasive treatments. Local medication applied vaginally is a non-invasive treatment, but this method is not very effective for cervical erosion of moderate or severe degree; invasive treatments use methods such as phototherapy, cryotherapy, laser, and electrocautery for local cervical treatment. This method may cause minor damage to the cervix locally and sometimes affect its ability to dilate during childbirth, but it does not cause infertility. Instead, severe cervical erosion or acute infections combined with it, if left untreated, can lead to infertility. Therefore, for women who have never given birth and suffer from cervical erosion without affecting pregnancy or acute infections, cervical laser treatment can be performed after childbirth.
