Patient's question:
I am 40 years old this year, and I have been suffering from long-term vaginal itching. The doctor said it is cervical erosion. Could you please explain what exactly is going on? Thank youDoctor's answer:
Hello: Since it has already been diagnosed, as long as active treatment is carried out, there is no need for too many reasons! Some people believe that cervical erosion treated with physical therapy methods (such as laser) may lead to infertility, but this is actually an incorrect viewpoint. Cervical erosion itself can lead to infertility and definitely requires treatment. However, if it is severe erosion, using medication for treatment may be costly, time-consuming, and labor-intensive (if it is moderate to severe erosion, clinical experience shows that treatment may take 2 to 3 months, and some people with a good response may recover quickly, while others may need a longer time). Therefore, it is recommended for patients with severe cervical erosion who have not been able to conceive to adopt physical therapy methods such as laser, as they are effective quickly. When undergoing treatment, it is important to inform the doctor about your fertility needs, ensuring that the treatment is performed superficially to avoid affecting the function of the cervix. Even in cases of cervical adhesion, it can be resolved by a simple procedure.
