Patient's question:
Yesterday I had already gone for a check-up. The doctor said it's nothing serious, it's just mild cervical inflammation. But last night I noticed that my vaginal discharge seemed a bit thick. I've never had this before. Is this a concern? The doctor has already prescribed me Anti-Cervical Inflammation Tablets.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the treatment for cervical erosion depends on the degree and whether you have fertility requirements: If you plan to have children in the future, never undergo physical therapy (such as electrocoagulation, laser, cryotherapy, etc.) because it leaves permanent scars, which may lead to glandular atresia, alter cervical mucus, and cause infertility; or it may result in cervical dilation difficulties during childbirth. If the clinical symptoms are not significant, treatment may not be necessary, and it can be considered after childbirth. If the clinical symptoms are prominent, and abnormal blood vessels and cells are observed under colposcopy, trichloroacetic acid can be applied to the erosion area of the cervix once a week (this must be done by a doctor), and it generally takes 1-4 treatments to improve. If you do not plan to have children in the future, and the clinical symptoms are prominent, the erosion is severe, or there is abnormal cell and blood vessel proliferation, physical therapy such as electrocoagulation, laser, or cryotherapy can be used.
