Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Doctor, my girlfriend is 18 years old and has severe cervical erosion. She wants to undergo surgical treatment, but as a student, she doesn't have enough money. Could you please tell me how much it might cost to treat this condition? What are the current charging standards for such surgeries in Shanghai? Please help me, thank you for your answer!Doctor's answer:
Severe cervical erosion requires prompt physical therapy for complete recovery, as medication alone is not very effective. Many current technologies, such as the LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) and the self-coagulating knife, do not affect fertility. Generally, you only need to stay in the hospital for a few days to reduce inflammation before undergoing physical therapy. The treatment usually takes only a few to minutes, and recovery typically takes 1-2 months. During and for the next 1-2 months after treatment, sexual intercourse is not allowed. After the treatment, you can take some anti-inflammatory medication to aid recovery. Pay attention to your diet, avoiding spicy and dry foods, drinking more water, and eating a lighter diet. Maintain good personal hygiene to prevent infection and inflammation. Both partners should be clean before and after sexual activity. Excessive foreskin in men can significantly affect the cervix of women. As long as both partners maintain good hygiene, it is less likely to cause inflammation or erosion.
