Patient's question:
Hello, I went to the hospital for a check-up in March this year. The doctor said I had 1.5 degrees of cervical erosion and also candidiasis. I had micro-light treatment and took medication. My period came a week later. After my period, I went back for another cervical erosion treatment and then had a follow-up check. The doctor said my erosion area had healed, but there was still some redness and swelling. He suggested I do micro-light treatment again, but I didn't. I thought it would heal on its own. Recently, I've noticed blood streaks after sexual intercourse and external itching. I think it must be a recurrence of cervical erosion. I want to ask if medication can cure it now? Should my husband also be treated at the same time? What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, mild cervical erosion can be treated with medication and does not require physical therapy. Generally, women of childbearing age have varying degrees of cervical erosion. If it is mild and there are no obvious discomforts, treatment is usually not necessary. The first step in treating cervical erosion is to perform a cervical smear to rule out precancerous lesions. Then, a pathological examination of cervical secretions is conducted to determine the specific pathogen causing the condition. If necessary, a pathogen culture + drug sensitivity test can be performed to select the most sensitive medication for treatment. Medication treatment includes local and systemic approaches. However, for moderate to severe cervical erosion, physical therapy is generally more effective.
