Recognize the six major treatment misunderstandings of cervical erosion

Recognize the six major treatment misunderstandings of cervical erosion

Cervical erosion is a phenomenon of chronic cervicitis, characterized by bright red or pink spots around the cervical opening. Chronic cervicitis often occurs in married women, but it can also occur in unmarried people with no sexual history. In fact, cervical erosion is not difficult to treat. The key is that many women have misunderstandings about it and do not pay attention to it. So what are these misunderstandings of female friends?

Myth 1: Indiscriminate medication

Nowadays, there are many kinds of drugs for the local treatment of cervical erosion, but local drugs can only protect the surface of the erosion. The surface seems to heal in a short period of time, but because the basic lesion is not resolved, it will soon relapse.

As for vulvar and vaginal cleaning, it can only improve the symptoms of leucorrhea, but cannot play a fundamental role in the healing of erosion. At the same time, unnecessary vaginal cleaning or medication will disrupt the normal defense mechanism of the vagina and may cause infection.

For those who need treatment for cervical erosion, don’t think that “applying medicine and cleaning” costs less and does not hurt the skin and flesh than physical therapy. Improper treatment can only prolong the course of the disease and worsen the condition, and you will end up costing more money.

Myth 2: Cervical erosion can cause infertility

Cervical erosion is a symptom of chronic cervicitis and a common disease among female friends. Mild and moderate cervical erosion will not affect fertility. If you have fertility requirements, don't focus too much on "erosion". If it is cervical erosion, you should pay attention to it. Don't blindly follow some misleading information and accept improper treatment. You can get pregnant under the guidance of a doctor.

Myth 3: Only middle-aged women who have given birth will suffer from cervical erosion, and it has nothing to do with me

Cervical erosion is a common inflammation of the female reproductive organs, but it does not mean that women will suffer from cervical erosion only after giving birth. After a woman has sexual intercourse, her vagina is in a relatively "open" state.

If you do not pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene during sexual intercourse, bacteria will have the opportunity to invade the vagina, which will increase the possibility of female reproductive organ inflammation, cause cervicitis, and cause erosion. Cervical erosion is not exclusive to married middle-aged women. Early prevention, early inspection, and early treatment can keep you healthy!

We know that increased vaginal discharge is sometimes caused by physiological changes, such as increased vaginal discharge during ovulation. If an unmarried woman experiences persistent increase in vaginal discharge, or changes in color or texture, she should go to a regular hospital to find out the cause. If cervical erosion is diagnosed, it should be treated promptly to avoid affecting fertility and normal life.

Myth 4: Although I have cervical erosion, I don’t feel any discomfort and it doesn’t matter whether I treat it or not.

There is no discomfort in case of mild cervical erosion, but in case of moderate or severe cervical erosion, the cervical secretions will increase significantly, become thick in texture, and contain a large number of white blood cells, which will affect the motility of sperm and directly hinder the sperm from entering the uterine cavity, thereby affecting normal conception and causing female infertility. If not treated in time, the inflammation of the cervix will not heal for a long time, which will cause inflammation and complications of other organs, such as: endometritis, adnexitis, and fallopian tube infection and adhesion, which will lead to female infertility.

Under the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, it can also cause deeper symptoms such as polyps, lacerations, ectropion and cysts; some cervical erosions can even become cancerous. According to statistics, the incidence of cervical cancer in women with cervical erosion is 10 times higher than that in women without cervical erosion.

Myth 5: The treatment of cervical erosion is very simple and you don’t need to take it too seriously.

The treatment of cervical erosion is indeed not very difficult, but simple is only relative to the operation process. For patients, if they do not cooperate well and receive random treatment, the disease will be difficult to cure. Even if it is cured, it will easily become infected again and cause inflammation. According to Danfeng Chaoyang gynecology experts, as long as the right treatment method is chosen for cervical erosion and active cooperation is achieved, it can be cured quickly.

Myth 6: Women who have not given birth are not suitable for physical therapy

Many people have heard that scars on the neck after physical therapy will affect pregnancy, causing many childless women to flatly refuse physical therapy.

So how should women with cervical erosion who have not yet given birth be treated?

First of all, we need to look at the extent and nature of the erosion. Cervical erosion is divided into three degrees: mild, moderate and severe according to the depth of the lesion. If it is mild and superficial erosion, even if the erosion surface is large, if the erosion depth is shallow and there is not much leucorrhea, it can be temporarily left untreated.

If the papillary erosion is moderate or above, cancer prevention testing and treatment must be done. During physical therapy, you just need to make sure that the treatment range does not involve the cervical canal, and there is no need to worry too much. This depends on the doctor's clear diagnosis of the disease and his proficiency in the operation.
