How is cervical erosion treated?

Dr. Liu Xiaohui
Hello, before treating cervical erosion (cervical ectropion), it is essential to rule out the possibility of cervical cancer. Early signs may include irregular vaginal bleeding, abnormal vaginal discharge, and foul odor—please take these symptoms seriously.
Cervical erosion is typically managed through pharmacological therapy or physical modalities; the optimal treatment approach depends on individual circumstances. Surgical intervention should only be considered if medications prove ineffective. Notably, surgical treatment is generally not recommended for women of childbearing age or those who have not yet given birth; instead, drug therapy is preferred. During treatment, abstain from sexual intercourse, ensure adequate rest, and maintain warmth.
