Patient's question:
Doctor,I had physical therapy for cervical erosion two years ago, which was a surgical procedure. Later, I basically recovered. Now, my vaginal discharge is yellow. After the doctor's examination, they said the cervical erosion is not severe, and the colposcopy showed that the mucosa of the cervical canal is everted. They prescribed some topical medication (External Ulcer Powder) for me. I would like to ask if I should continue using it. What measures should I take in terms of treatment now? The doctor suggested that I have electrocoagulation after giving birth. I am not very sure about what to do. I want to completely cure the erosion, so should I continue using the medication or have electrocoagulation? If I have electrocoagulation, will it affe
Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is most commonly and effectively treated with physical therapy. Based on your condition, the doctor may choose the following methods: laser therapy, cryotherapy, infrared coagulation therapy, and microwave therapy. Generally, it takes 3-4 weeks to heal, but if the erosion is deeper, it may take 6-8 weeks. The cervix will return to a smooth appearance. However, please note that physical therapy should be performed 37 days after the menstrual cycle ends, and it is important to maintain external genital hygiene and avoid (bath).Lifestyle care: After physical therapy, it is common to experience an increase in vaginal discharge. Before the cervix crust falls off, there may be a significant amount of yellow fluid discharged from the vagina. Within 12 weeks after treatment, there may be a small amount of blood or spotting when the crust falls off. If there is excessive bleeding, prompt treatment is necessary. Generally, a follow-up examination is recommended 37 days after the menstrual cycle ends to check if it has healed. If it has not healed, a second treatment may be considered. After healing, regular gynecological examinations are still required.
