What are the side effects of Lip Knife?

In real life, gynecological diseases in women are relatively common physical diseases, and the Lip Knife is a surgical method that can treat female uterine diseases. The Lip Knife can effectively treat cervicitis or female cervical erosion, etc. However, there are certain side effects after the Lip Knife treatment, which may easily lead to bleeding or endocrine disorders in the body, so more attention should be paid to care in daily life.

Cervical erosion (chronic cervicitis) is mainly treated locally, and physical therapy includes laser, freezing, microwave, etc. It takes 3-4 weeks for the wound to heal, and 6-8 weeks for deep wounds. The treatment should be carried out 3-7 days after the menstruation ends.

There may be a small amount of bleeding 1-2 weeks after the operation, and bathing, sexual intercourse and vaginal douching are prohibited for 4-8 weeks. Drug treatment is rarely used now, but Chinese herbal preparations can be used with certain efficacy.

The symptoms of cervical erosion are quite typical. Affected by the secretion of estrogen, to the naked eye, the external opening of the cervix is ​​a granular red area, as if "erosion" has occurred.

Earlier textbooks listed "cervical erosion" as one of the symptoms of chronic cervicitis, believing that the size of the area is a measure of the severity of the inflammation. An area less than 1/3 is mild, 1/3-2/3 is moderate, and more than 2/3 is severe. However, this is actually just the different degrees of eversion of the columnar epithelium after being affected by estrogen, which is a normal physiological phenomenon.

It should be noted that cervical erosion should be differentiated from cervicitis. If there is an increase in vaginal discharge, it becomes yellow, and has an odor, these are manifestations of cervical inflammation, which are symptoms that occur after an infection occurs on the cervix. The cyst and hypertrophy of the cervix are also the result of chronic cervical inflammation. Once symptoms of cervicitis appear, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible and do not delay the treatment.

Cervical erosion refers to the displacement of the squamous epithelium on the outside of the cervical opening and the columnar epithelium on the inside of the cervix at the junction. This phenomenon is a physiological change caused by estrogen in the female body. Cervical erosion lasts for decades from a woman's puberty. As for why some people have it and some don't, it depends on their physical constitution.

There are two types of epithelium on the surface of the female cervix during embryogenesis: primitive squamous epithelium and columnar epithelium. Before puberty, the original "squamo-columnar junction" is located inside the cervical canal. After puberty, under the action of estrogen, the volume of the cervix grows rapidly and greatly exceeds the uterine body, and "cervical ectropion" occurs. Ectropion exposes the cervical columnar epithelium at the external os of the cervix, which appears red and rough. The red color is because the columnar epithelium is arranged in a single layer with a rich vascular network underneath. The roughness is because the columnar epithelium fuses with each other to form villi or granular shapes.

Cervical erosion does not require medication. Cervical erosion is not an independent disease, but a physiological change caused by sex hormones. The severity of simple columnar epithelial eversion has nothing to do with the disease.

The concept of over-medicalization in clinical practice needs some time to be updated. Domestic medical concepts are outdated, and diagnosis is usually made based on naked eye observation rather than cytopathology, which is also the reason for misunderstandings in the treatment of "cervical erosion". As for the so-called "severe cervical erosion", it is most likely because the patient has other inflammations.
