Patient's question:
Currently suffering from mild cervical erosion. Will refraining from sexual intercourse and paying attention to hygiene prevent mild cervical erosion from worsening to moderate without medication?First follow-up question: Will mild cervical erosion worsen to moderate if I refrain from sexual intercourse and maintain good hygiene without medication? Are there any methods to control it from worsening to moderate?
Second follow-up question: My condition is currently mild, not moderate. How should I treat it?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is best to actively treat it! Some people believe that physical therapy methods for cervical erosion (such as laser) may lead to infertility, but this is actually an incorrect view. Cervical erosion itself can lead to infertility and definitely requires treatment. However, if the erosion is severe, using medication for treatment may be costly, time-consuming, and require a lot of effort (if the erosion is moderate to severe, clinical experience shows that treatment typically takes 2 to 3 months; some people with a good response may recover quickly, while others may need a longer time). Therefore, for patients with severe cervical erosion who have not been able to conceive, it is recommended to use physical therapy methods such as laser. This method is effective quickly, and during treatment, it is important to inform the doctor about your fertility goals so that the procedure can be performed more superficially, ensuring it does not affect the function of the cervix. Even if there is cervical adhesion, it can be treated by passing a device through it.
