ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effect of recombinant human epithelial growth factor (rhEGF) in promoting the healing of cervical erosion.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Forty-eight patients with cervical erosion were treated with rhEGF and 30 with 500 kHz high-frequency electromagnetic wave, and the effects of the therapies were compared in terms of healing of the cervical wound, healing time, volume of vaginal discharge and bleeding and the lasting time.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In comparison with radiofrequency therapy, the healing of the lesion took significantly shorter time with rhEGF therapy, which also resulted in less vaginal discharge that lasted for shorter time without causing vaginal bleeding.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>rhEGF can obviously accelerate the healing of cervical erosion.</p>
