Patient's question:
Medical history: Half a yearPrevious diagnosis and treatment history and effectiveness: I have cervical erosion of degree three, and many medications have not worked. My friend advised me to undergo physical therapy, but I'm afraid it will affect my ability to have children. What should I do? Can medication alone treat it?
If physical therapy is necessary, which method should be used?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, cervical erosion is a common inflammation of the female reproductive tract. It is divided into three degrees—mild, moderate, and severe—based on the proportion of the erosion area on the cervix. Treatment methods include non-invasive and invasive treatments. Local treatment using medication applied vaginally is a non-invasive approach, but this method is not very effective for cervical erosion of moderate or severe degree. Invasive treatment methods involve the use of phototherapy, cryotherapy, laser, electrocautery, and other techniques for local cervical treatment. This method may cause minor local damage to the cervix and sometimes affect its ability to dilate during childbirth, but it does not lead to infertility. Instead, severe cervical erosion or acute infections, if left untreated, can result in infertility. Therefore, for women who have not been pregnant and suffer from cervical erosion without affecting pregnancy or acute infection, cervical laser treatment can be performed after childbirth.
