Patient's question:
Can cervical erosion be treated with medication?Doctor's answer:
General treatment for cervical erosion typically involves local therapy, with a variety of methods available, such as drug therapy, physical therapy, and surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia to prevent infection. Sexual activity, tub baths, and vaginal irrigation should be avoided until the wound is completely healed, which usually takes 4 to 8 weeks. Monthly follow-up examinations are recommended after treatment to monitor the healing of the wound. If the above treatments are ineffective, or if the cervix is enlarged, or the erosion is deep and extensive, involving the cervical canal, cervical conization or total hysterectomy may be considered. It is recommended to visit a hospital for examination and receive symptomatic treatment based on individual circumstances.
