How to treat cervical erosion

When it comes to gynecological diseases such as cervical erosion, everyone is familiar with it. During physical examinations, many women will have some cervical erosion, which is mainly caused by inflammation of the cervix. According to the condition, it can be divided into three types: mild, moderate and severe. Of course, don't be too nervous if you suffer from cervical erosion. Through correct treatment, it can be restored to normal. So what is the more reasonable way to treat cervical erosion? You should choose the appropriate method according to the condition.

With the continuous development of medical technology, how to treat cervical erosion is no longer a difficult problem, and there are many treatment methods. As a female friend, it is best to detect it early, so as to reduce the pain of treatment. When the amount of leucorrhea increases, turns yellow, or has a peculiar smell, you should go to the hospital for a check-up. Here are some treatments for cervical erosion:

1. Drug treatment. It is suitable for patients with smaller erosion area and shallower inflammatory infiltration. Antibiotics can be used for local application, such as metronidazole, sulfonamides, furazolidone, etc.

2. Physical therapy. It is suitable for patients with larger erosion area and deeper inflammatory infiltration. It has the advantages of short treatment course and good efficacy. Commonly used methods include electric ironing, laser therapy, and cryotherapy.

Before physical therapy surgery, the vulva, vagina, and cervix must be routinely disinfected. Since the amount of fluid discharged after surgery is large, care must be taken to keep the vulva clean and dry to prevent infection. Sexual intercourse, bathing and vaginal douching are prohibited until the wound has completely healed, which usually takes 4 to 8 weeks. After treatment, the patients were reviewed once a month to check the wound healing status.

4. Cryotherapy. Liquid nitrogen is used as the cooling source and a rapid cooling device is used to freeze, necrotize and fall off the eroded tissue. There is little bleeding after the operation, but there is a lot of vaginal discharge, which usually lasts for 2 to 3 weeks. The necrotic tissue fell off in 6 weeks and the wound healed in 8 weeks.

5. Laser treatment. Laser is used to carbonize and scab the eroded tissue. The scab will fall off about 3 weeks after the operation, and new squamous epithelium will grow on the wound surface. There is also a lot of vaginal discharge after laser treatment.

6. Electric ironing method. It is best to do it within 3 to 7 days after menstruation. During treatment, place the iron head in contact with the eroded surface and apply slight pressure, moving it back and forth from inside to outside and left to right until it slightly exceeds the eroded surface. After the operation, 1% gentian violet is applied to the wound. The patient will have heavy vaginal discharge within 2 to 3 days and a small amount of vaginal bleeding within 2 weeks. After 2 to 3 weeks, the wound will shed its scab and the squamous epithelium will begin to repair.

7. Surgical treatment. If the above treatment is ineffective, or there is cervical hypertrophy, or the erosion is deep and extensive, and involves the cervical canal, cervical conization or total hysterectomy may be considered. But surgical treatment is rarely used nowadays.

The above introduces how to treat cervical erosion. I hope it can be helpful to you. Cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease, which is mainly caused by inflammation and improper sexual intercourse. Therefore, you must pay attention to the hygiene of sexual intercourse and menstrual period. Try to stay away from abortion and take contraceptive measures. You should also pay attention to eating a light diet and eat more fruits and vegetables. Increase physical exercise appropriately to enhance your own resistance. Finally, I would like to remind female friends to maintain a good attitude.
