Patient's question:
A few days ago, during a physical examination at my workplace, I was found to have mild cervical erosion. I've become less interested in sexual activity lately and wonder if it's related to this. First follow-up question: I experience pain during intercourse, which is why my interest has decreased. How should cervical erosion be treated? What should I pay attention to in daily life!Doctor's answer:
Hello: The current situation requires active treatment of your cervical erosion! Cervical erosion is a common inflammation of the female reproductive tract, classified 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 it is ineffective for cervical erosion of moderate or greater severity. Invasive treatments involve phototherapy, cryotherapy, laser, electrocoagulation, and other methods for localized cervical treatment. This approach may cause minor local damage to the cervix and sometimes affect its expandability during childbirth, but it does not lead to infertility. Conversely, severe cervical erosion or acute infections, if left untreated, can result in infertility. Therefore, for women who have never borne children and are diagnosed with cervical erosion without affecting pregnancy or acute infections, cervical laser treatment can be performed after childbirth.
