Patient's question:
Why can't medication effectively treat mild cervical erosion???? I have been taking anti-cervicitis tablets orally for two or three months, and it is still said to be mild. What should I do for treatment??????? Microwaves can affect fertility. What should I do then??????? First question supplement: I haven't had children yet and can't undergo microwave treatment. If medication is not an option, what other treatments should I consider???????Doctor's answer:
Hello; that means your drug absorption is not very good! There are many treatments for cervical erosion, and appropriate choices can be made based on the degree of erosion. The main methods are as follows:(1) Medication Treatment: For small erosion areas with shallow inflammation infiltration, the following medication treatments 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 wall, and ensure sterilization during application to prevent reinfection.
(2) Physical Treatment: Used for larger erosion areas with deeper inflammation infiltration.
① Electrocautery: Use a special electrocautery device to burn the erosion tissue, causing it to necrose and fall off. It must reach a certain depth to ensure effective treatment.
② Cryotherapy: Use a special rapid freezing device to freeze, necrose, and cause the diseased cervical erosion tissue to fall off. Liquid nitrogen is commonly used as the cryoprotectant, with the cryoprobe temperature dropping to -196°C. Apply it to the surface of the cervix to freeze and necrose the erosion tissue, allowing new squamous epithelium to regenerate. It can often be cured in one session. Generally, there are no adverse reactions, though some patients may experience mild dizziness or lower abdominal pain.
③ Laser Treatment: Most often uses a carbon dioxide laser treatment device. Apply the special laser treatment head to the cervical erosion tissue to carbonize, form scabs, and cause them to fall off, allowing new squamous epithelium to regenerate. It can usually be cured in one session. There is no special discomfort during the procedure, though some patients may experience scab shedding.
