Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have been experiencing intense itching around my vaginal opening recently. During a check-up a while ago, it was diagnosed as second-degree cervical erosion, and the doctor prescribed Metronidazole Furazolidone Suppository. I used it twice, but the itching is still there. Today, I took a Sitz bath with warm salt water for a while, and it felt a bit better. Will continuing this method be effective for cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, cervical erosion is caused by long-term chronic inflammation stimulation, and the columnar epithelium in the cervical canal may develop atypical hyperplasia. If not treated in time, a portion of these patients may eventually develop cancer. However, since this transformation process is relatively slow, there is time to actively treat it. Mild erosion can be treated with medication, but in severe cases, simple medication is not ideal and may lead to repeated episodes or incomplete treatment. It is recommended to combine physical therapy and surgical treatment. It is advised to seek targeted treatment at a regular hospital as early as possible. Wishing you good health.
