Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 42 years old, suffering from heart disease for over ten years, recently diagnosed with cervical erosion, treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of South China University.Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is classified into three degrees based on the depth of the lesion: mild, moderate, and severe. If the erosion is mild and superficial, even if the erosion area is large but the depth is shallow and the amount of leukorrhea is not significant, it can be temporarily left untreated. For papillary erosion of moderate or higher degree, cancer prevention examination and treatment are necessary.For patients with moderate cervical erosion and severe cervical erosion, common methods include electrocoagulation, laser therapy, and cryotherapy. The disadvantages are significant side effects, which may lead to a decrease in the sensitivity of the vaginal wall nerves and affect sexual quality. Additionally, the condition tends to recur easily after treatment. It is recommended to use oral antibiotics and topical problem iodine for timely treatment.
