Patient's question:
I recently had a check-up and found I had mild cervical inflammation. The doctor prescribed me a box of Baofukang suppositories. I used one and felt uncomfortable, so I haven't used any more. Recently, I've had persistent low fever, and every time I go to the bathroom, a few drops of blood flow, similar to menstrual blood.Is this due to the cervical inflammation? Besides using suppositories, can I take medication or get IV drips for the treatment of cervical inflammation?
Thank you for the first follow-up question: Thank you for your answer.
Can I use medication or IV drip treatments instead?
Because I heard that microwave therapy would...
Doctor's answer:
Microwave therapy for cervical inflammation is a high-frequency electromagnetic wave with a wavelength of 1mm-1m, and its frequency is 300,000MHz. Its wavelength and frequency fall between ultrashort waves and infrared light. High-dose microwave belongs to high-temperature thermal coagulation, which can cause tissue degeneration, carbonization, and necrosis, thereby destroying abnormal tissues. It is used for conditions such as cervical erosion, cervical polyps, and cervical condyloma acuminata, and also has a certain plasticizing effect on old cervical lacerations. It is generally performed 2-3 days after menstruation, with wound healing taking 4-8 weeks. A small amount of bleeding may occur during the crust shedding 1-2 weeks after treatment. It is important to maintain external genital hygiene and avoid sexual intercourse and tub baths for 1-2 months. It should be noted that physical therapy for cervical inflammation is primarily used for benign lesions of the cervix. It must be cautious for cervical squamous cell carcinoma, even in very early-stage cervical cancer. Therefore, before treatment, cervical scraping tests or colposcopy should be performed for patients with severe cervical erosion, and biopsies may be necessary if needed to rule out cervical cancer and other specific inflammatory conditions.
