Patient's question:
Had sexual activity for 7 years, not married or had children, even suspected of infertility. In July of this year, I had my first gynecological examination, which was done at a small hospital. The examination items included: routine vaginal discharge test, cervical scraping cytology, electronic colposcopy cancer examination, and transvaginal ultrasound. After the examination, the doctor said there was severe cervical erosion.Doctor's answer:
Patient, hello,1. Personally, I think your examination is sufficient.
2. HPV has more than 80 subtypes, divided into two major categories: low-risk and high-risk types. Low-risk types primarily cause low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN I) and flat warts, mainly including types 6, 11, 30, 39, 42, 43, and 44. High-risk types primarily cause CIN II, CIN III, and cervical cancer, mainly including types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 35, 45, 52, and 56.
3. The cervical smear cytology results are normal.
4. After the colposcopy, the doctor said nothing, which should mean there is no major issue.
5. I’m not sure what you mean by "heat therapy." If it refers to treatments like microwave or LEEP, they may still have some impact on the cervix. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a new technology developed in recent years, and no short-term adverse effects on the cervix have been observed. However, long-term clinical data spanning decades is currently lacking.
6. The routine vaginal discharge test shows no significant problems.
7. "Cervical erosion" is an inaccurate term and is now referred to as "cervical columnar epithelial ectopia." Over-treatment is unnecessary.
