Patient's question:
A few months ago, I was diagnosed with cervical erosion. I often have lower abdominal pain, feel weak, have excessive vaginal discharge, and don't have back pain. I feel fine after a good night's sleep. Intercourse also doesn't cause pain. I used a box of Zhimi Ling and Kanggongyan, and now I'm much better. I haven't had any abdominal pain for a month, and my vaginal discharge is much more normal. Should I continue taking medication or have laser treatment? Can Chinese medicine cure it completely? What medicine should I take?Doctor's answer:
Many harmful bacteria invade the vagina first, settling on the mucous membranes and folds on the lateral walls of the vagina. This is a mild infection, but if the harmful bacteria continue to enter the vaginal fornix and cervix, it can lead to cervicitis. At this stage, the vagina's self-cleaning function cannot solve the problem, and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatment is necessary.For patients with cervical erosion, a light diet is recommended. Avoid foods that may exacerbate the condition, such as mutton, shrimp, crabs, eel, salted fish, and black fish. Avoid spicy and irritating foods and drinks, such as chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, raw scallions, raw garlic, and baijiu (Chinese liquor).
