Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation, following your instructions:That leads me to wonder, what should I do now?
Because I've been treated for almost six or seven months, and there's still no improvement at all.
Should I consider switching to a different hospital?
Or, besides microwave therapy, are there other better methods for treating cervical erosion?
I saw some information about the LEEP procedure online, and it looks quite good.
I'm wondering if I could try that?
I'm in Dongguan.
Or, are there any better hospitals or doctors you could recommend?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: There are many treatment methods for cervical erosion, and appropriate choices can be made based on the severity of the erosion. The main methods are as follows:（1）Medication: For small erosion areas with superficial inflammation, the following medication treatments can be used:
① 10–20% silver nitrate: Apply locally once a week, with 2–4 applications constituting a course.
② Potassium permanganate: Apply locally after menstruation, and repeat the medication once after 1–2 months. When using these medications, handle with care to prevent burns to the surrounding vaginal wall, and ensure sterilization during application to prevent reinfection.
（2）Physical Therapy: Used for larger erosion areas with deeper inflammation.
① Electrocautery: Use a specially designed electrocautery device to burn the erosion tissue, causing it to necrose and fall off. The treatment should reach a certain depth for better efficacy.
② Cryotherapy: Use a specialized rapid freezing device to freeze, necrose, and detach the diseased tissue on the erosion area. Liquid nitrogen is commonly used as the cryogenic agent, which can lower the temperature of the cryoprobe to -196°C. Apply it to the surface of the cervix to freeze and necrose the erosion tissue, allowing new squamous epithelial tissue to regenerate. One session is typically sufficient for healing. Generally, there are no adverse reactions, though some patients may experience mild dizziness or lower abdominal pain.
③ Laser Therapy: Most commonly uses a carbon dioxide laser treatment device. Apply the specially designed laser head to irradiate the erosion tissue, causing it to carbonize, form a scab, and fall off, followed by the growth of new squamous epithelial tissue. One session is usually sufficient for healing. There is no special discomfort during the procedure, though some patients may experience bleeding when the scab falls off.
