Patient's question:
Detailed medical history:1. On March 19, 2004, I was diagnosed with chronic cervicitis and moderate cervical erosion. I have been taking medication and applying topical treatments ever since, and it progressed to severe after one year.
2. On August 14, 2005, I was hospitalized for an appendicitis perforation and underwent surgery. The doctor said the procedure was very clean.
3. On September 25, 2005, I had an ultrasound at the hospital, and the results showed a 15mm fluid-filled area in the pelvis. The doctor said it was normal and that a small amount could be present.
4. My period started on the 14th, and it is usually very regular.
Doctor's answer:
Cervical columnar epithelial ectopia does not require any treatment. Many current methods for treating cervical erosion are incorrect. However, for symptomatic cervical inflammation, treatment is necessary. Acute inflammation can be treated with topical medication, while chronic inflammation can be addressed using physical therapy methods such as laser or cryotherapy. Regular cervical examinations are very important, not to prevent cervical erosion, but to prevent cervical cancer.
