Introduction
In general, laser treatment for chronic cervicitis uses carbon dioxide laser to cause necrosis and shedding of the cervical erosion area, allowing new cervical tissue to grow and the cervical surface to become smooth again. The general reference price for laser treatment of chronic cervicitis is 500–2000 yuan per session, and noticeable improvement is usually observed within 7–15 days.

Generally, laser treatment for chronic cervicitis uses carbon dioxide laser to cause necrosis and shedding of the eroded cervical area, allowing new cervical tissue to grow and the cervical surface to regain smoothness. The general reference price for laser treatment of chronic cervicitis is 500–2000 yuan per session, and noticeable improvement can usually be seen within 7–15 days. After laser treatment for chronic cervicitis, the following post-treatment care measures should be observed: abstinence from sexual intercourse and tub bathing, maintaining external genital hygiene, monitoring vaginal discharge and bleeding, avoiding strenuous exercise, and adjusting diet. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Avoid Sexual Intercourse and Tub Bathing

After laser treatment, the cervical tissue requires time to heal. Sexual intercourse and tub bathing may increase the risk of infection and delay wound healing. Patients should abstain from sexual activity and tub bathing for two months following treatment to ensure complete recovery of cervical tissue.

2. Maintain External Genital Hygiene

Maintaining cleanliness of the external genital area can reduce bacterial growth and lower the risk of infection. It is recommended to use non-irritating cleaning products and avoid using soap or other substances that may irritate the skin.

3. Monitor Vaginal Discharge and Bleeding

Following laser treatment, increased vaginal discharge or minor bleeding may occur. Patients should closely observe the characteristics of vaginal discharge and any bleeding. If there is an unusual odor, excessive bleeding, or prolonged bleeding, prompt medical consultation is advised.

4. Avoid Strenuous Exercise

Strenuous physical activity may interfere with wound healing and increase the risk of bleeding. For a period after treatment, activities such as running, jumping rope, and swimming should be avoided. Appropriate bed rest and reduced physical exertion can aid in the healing process.

5. Adjust Diet

A balanced diet can promote wound healing and overall recovery. After laser treatment, patients should avoid spicy and irritating foods such as chili peppers and Sichuan peppers. Instead, it is recommended to consume foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as lean meats, fish, and fresh vegetables and fruits.

Patients should follow the doctor's instructions carefully and manage postoperative care properly to facilitate wound healing and recovery.

Which is better for treating filiform warts: cryotherapy or laser treatment?
Cryotherapy usually involves a short single procedure time, but it may take 1–2 weeks for the warts to shed. Larger warts may require multiple treatments. Laser therapy can directly vaporize the wart and remove it in a single session, with a postoperative recovery period of approximately one week, making it more efficient overall. Cryotherapy destroys warts through low temperatures and may result in blistering and crusting after treatment, with a relatively larger wound area.

Will filiform warts recur after laser treatment?
Whether filiform warts will recur after laser treatment depends on the treatment outcome and postoperative care. If the root of the wart was completely removed during laser treatment and proper postoperative protection is maintained, recurrence is generally unlikely. However, if the treatment was incomplete or if there are postoperative triggering factors, recurrence may occur. To reduce the likelihood of recurrence after laser treatment for filiform warts, avoid contact with contaminated water until the treated area has fully healed.

This approach results in a lower probability of odor recurrence after surgery and is suitable for individuals with severe body odor who wish to be free from the long-term困扰 (困扰 translates to "trouble" or "distress") of axillary osmidrosis.
