Doctor's answer:

1. Local vaginal irrigation and topical medication: This is the most commonly used treatment. Irrigation can be performed using potassium permanganate solution (1:5000), povidone-iodine solution (1:1000), 1% acetic acid solution, or 0.5–1% lactic acid solution. For mild superficial cases, cotton swabs can be used to apply 5–10% tincture of iodine or 5–10% silver nitrate solution to the eroded areas locally, once a week, which can promote the healing of the eroded areas. However, care must be taken to avoid the solution leaking to normal mucous membranes outside the affected area. After applying silver nitrate, physiological saline cotton balls are gently wiped to remove excess solution. This method is now rarely used. Local application of chloramphenicol and prednisone tablets (250mg chloramphenicol and 5mg prednisone per tablet) can be placed deep in the vagina every night or every other night, with 10 uses constituting one course. Its effectiveness is comparable to general disinfectant solutions for irrigation and can be chosen based on the condition.

　　2. Vaginal lateral fornix closure: See the chapter on closure therapy in other therapies. It can be used for chronic cervical inflammation combined with parametritis, lumbosacral pain, and significant cervical motion tenderness, which severely affects sexual life.

　　3. Chinese herbal wash solution Jie Er Yin: Suitable for various acute and chronic cervical inflammations. Its main ingredients include Cnidium monnieri, Phellodendron amurense, Sophora flavescens, and Atractylodes macrocephala. Generally, a 10% solution is used for vaginal irrigation or sitz baths, once a day, with two weeks constituting one course.
