What are the causes of cervical erosion?

Patient's question:

One week after onset, there was itching of the external genitalia, which improved after medication. There was a stinging sensation when wiping with toilet paper after urination. The doctor prescribed a topical ointment and administered intravenous metronidazole and fluconazole, which led to improvement. Currently, there is cervical erosion of degree 3, with no abnormal findings. The doctor recommended undergoing a LEEP procedure.

Doctor's answer:

Cervical columnar epithelial ectopia does not require any treatment. Many current treatments for cervical erosion are incorrect. However, for symptomatic cervical inflammation, treatment is necessary. Acute inflammation can be treated with topical medication, while chronic inflammation can be addressed using physical therapy methods such as laser or cryotherapy.
