Do I need to take long-term medication for cervical precancerous lesions?

Cervical precancerous lesions are a disease that female friends are relatively familiar with, and it is also one of the most common female malignant tumors. Compared with other cancers, cervical precancerous lesions progress more slowly, so this helps the treatment of patients. However, although the surgical treatment of cervical precancerous lesions is more effective, many patients are not suitable for surgical treatment due to poor physical condition and other factors. Then we have to choose drug treatment. So how do drugs treat cervical precancerous lesions?

Drugs for treating cervical precancerous lesions can be divided into chemotherapy drugs and traditional Chinese medicine. Drug therapy is mostly used for the treatment of advanced cervical precancerous lesions.

1. Chemotherapy drugs for the treatment of cervical precancerous lesions

Chemotherapy is an important treatment for advanced cervical precancerous lesions. Commonly used chemotherapy drugs for the treatment of cervical precancerous lesions in clinical practice include cisplatin, carboplatin, cyclophosphamide, mitomycin, etc. These drugs have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult to evaluate which drug is the best drug for the treatment of cervical precancerous lesions. For example, cisplatin has the advantages of a broad anti-cancer spectrum and strong effects, but it is easy to cause kidney toxicity. Carboplatin has a similar mechanism of action to cisplatin, but its kidney toxicity, gastrointestinal reactions, ototoxicity and neurotoxicity are milder than cisplatin, while its bone marrow toxicity is more severe than cisplatin.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of cervical precancerous lesions

The advantage of Chinese medicine in treating cervical precancerous lesions is that it has a certain inhibitory effect on tumors, has no side effects, can improve human immunity, reduce the toxicity of chemotherapy drugs, improve the quality of life of patients, and prolong survival time. For example, the Jianpi Yishen Granules of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences have a good clinical reputation. At present, there are many types of Chinese medicines for the treatment of cervical precancerous lesions, and the quality varies. When choosing a drug suitable for the patient, you should be optimistic about the indications of the drug and learn more about the clinical application of the drug. When choosing a drug to treat cervical precancerous lesions, don't blindly ask which drug is the best.

Drugs should not be used indiscriminately, especially Western medicine, which has relatively large side effects. It should be decided based on the patient's specific condition and constitution. Traditional Chinese medicine is safer but has limited effects, so it is recommended to combine traditional Chinese and Western medicine for treatment.
