Patient's question:
I've read many posts. Some say that for mild cases, medication is best, and that unmarried and childless people should avoid physical therapy. I originally planned to have physical therapy, but now I'm scared. I heard that physical therapy isn't always effective. What should I do? Everyone, please give me some advice.Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is divided into three degrees:First-degree erosion, where the eroded area accounts for 1/3 of the cervix;
Second-degree cervical erosion, where the eroded area accounts for 2/3 of the cervix;
Third-degree erosion, where the eroded area exceeds 2/3 of the cervix.
Mild cervical erosion tends to heal on its own and can be treated with medication alone under a doctor's guidance. For moderate to severe cervical erosion, a cervical smear test should be performed first to rule out precancerous lesions. Then, a pathological examination of cervical secretions should be conducted to identify the causative pathogen. If necessary, pathogen culture + drug sensitivity testing can be done to select an appropriate medication for treatment. Combining medication with physical therapy yields better results, such as local medication application, red light, microwave therapy, laser, and LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure).
Women who have not given birth can choose microwave therapy. After microwave treatment, the cervix becomes relatively smooth, with minimal scar formation, and has no significant impact on future fertility.
