Patient's question:
Consult some questions about cervical erosion, is medicine better or surgery better.Doctor's answer:
Hello: How to treat it mainly depends on actively assessing the severity of your condition. There are many treatment methods for cervical erosion, and appropriate choices can be made based on the degree of erosion. The main methods are as follows:（1）Medication: For small erosion areas with shallow inflammation infiltration, the following medication methods can be used:
① 10–20% silver nitrate: Apply locally once a week, with 2–4 applications per course.
② Potassium permanganate: Apply locally after menstruation, and repeat the medication once after 1–2 months. When using the above medications, be careful to avoid burning the surrounding vaginal walls. Additionally, ensure sterilization during medication to prevent reinfection.
（2）Physical Therapy: Used for larger erosion areas with deeper inflammation infiltration.
① Electrocautery: Use a specially designed electrocautery device to burn the erosion tissue, causing it to necrose and fall off. It is important to achieve a certain depth for better treatment effects.
② Cryotherapy: Use a specially designed rapid freezing device to freeze and necrose the diseased tissue of the cervical erosion, causing it to fall off. Liquid nitrogen is commonly used as the cryoprotectant, which can lower the temperature of the cryoprobe to -196°C. Apply it to the surface of the cervix to freeze and necrose the erosion tissue, allowing new squamous epithelial tissue to regenerate. This can typically cure the condition in one session. Generally, there are no adverse reactions, though some patients may experience mild dizziness or lower abdominal pain.
③ Laser Therapy: Carbon dioxide laser treatment devices are often used. A specially designed laser treatment head is applied to the erosion tissue of the cervix, causing it to carbonize, form a scab, and fall off, followed by the regeneration of new squamous epithelial tissue. This can typically cure the condition in one session. There is no special discomfort during the procedure.
