Patient's question:
I have cervical erosion of the third degree, and currently, treatment is limited to medication. However, medication has almost no effect on the depth of the condition. I have visited some hospitals, and some doctors recommend physical therapy, while others say that since I am unmarried and have not given birth, they do not advocate for physical therapy. What should I do? Marriage and childbirth are important to me, but it may take several years before I can consider them. Will my condition worsen during those years?First follow-up question: Can you give me a satisfactory answer in a few days? Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Microwave treatment can be considered. Some people believe that physical therapy methods (such as laser) for cervical erosion may lead to infertility, which is actually an incorrect viewpoint. Cervical erosion itself can cause infertility and definitely requires treatment. However, if the erosion is severe, medication may be costly, time-consuming, and require a lot of effort (if the erosion is moderate to severe, clinical experience shows that treatment typically takes 2 to 3 months; some people with a good response may recover faster, while others may need more time). Therefore, for patients with severe cervical erosion who have not been able to conceive, it is recommended to use physical therapy methods such as laser. The effect is quick, and during treatment, you should inform your doctor about your fertility needs, ensuring that the procedure is performed shallowly enough to not affect the function of the cervix. Even if there is cervical adhesion, it can be resolved with a simple procedure.
