Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:Doctor, I have had GM for half a year. At first, it was just contact bleeding. When I went to the hospital, it was diagnosed as mild, and I was prescribed medication for about half a month. During this time, I did not stop having sex, and there was no bleeding. Two weeks ago, I had bloody discharge again. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, it was diagnosed as moderate. The results showed inflammation without lesions. Now, I have been on medication for another two weeks, and I stopped having sex during this time. I would like to ask how long it will take to heal moderate erosion. How long should I continue taking the medication? When should I go for a follow-up examination?
Duration of onset and persistence: 1–2
Doctor's answer:
The treatment of cervical erosion first requires a cervical smear to rule out precancerous lesions. Then, a pathogenological examination of cervical secretions should be conducted to identify the specific pathogen causing the condition. If necessary, pathogen culture + drug sensitivity testing can be performed to select appropriate medications for treatment. Medication treatment includes local and systemic approaches. However, for moderate to severe cervical erosion, physical therapy is generally more effective. Examples include laser, microwave, BOM light, and electrocautery. For those who are not yet pregnant, medication treatment should still be preferred to avoid adverse consequences. Physical therapy should be performed under the guidance of an experienced gynecologist.
