Patient's question:
Cervical erosion, underwent erbium glass laser treatmentDoctor's answer:
"Photodynamic Therapy for Cervical Erosion" is a very commonly used treatment method. It is effective for mild, benign cervical erosion with minimal side effects. It is recommended to undergo a colposcopy, cervical epithelial cell shedding test, or cervical tissue biopsy before photodynamic therapy to rule out any malignancy. If there is no malignancy, photodynamic therapy is suitable; otherwise, LEEP treatment or surgical treatment should be chosen. Additionally, a routine vaginal discharge test is required. If vaginitis is present, it must be treated first before undergoing photodynamic therapy. Post-surgery, sexual activity should be avoided for two months. A follow-up examination is recommended after two months, and if necessary, a repeat treatment may be required.Photodynamic therapy uses high temperatures to cause necrosis and shedding of the eroded tissue, which does not affect fertility and is painless. It is the preferred treatment for severe cervical erosion. However, some private clinics lack medical ethics, sometimes misdiagnosing mild erosion as severe. Mild erosion can be treated with medication, so I recommend you have another check-up at a reputable hospital.
