Patient's question:
Female, 25, married for one yearCervicitis (moderate), what should I do? Is there a possibility of cancer?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: There is absolutely no problem as long as active treatment is pursued! Cervical erosion is a common inflammation of the female reproductive tract, classified into three degrees—mild, moderate, and severe—based on the proportion of the cervix affected by erosion. Treatment methods include non-invasive and invasive treatments. Local medication administered vaginally is a non-invasive approach, but it is ineffective for cervical erosion of moderate or greater severity. Invasive treatments involve methods such as phototherapy, cryotherapy, laser, and electrocautery for localized cervical treatment. This approach may cause minor damage to the cervix locally and sometimes affect its dilatation during childbirth, but it does not lead to infertility. In fact, severe cervical erosion or acute infections that are left untreated can result in infertility. Therefore, for women who have never borne children and are diagnosed with cervical erosion without affecting pregnancy or acute infection, cervical laser treatment can be performed after childbirth.
