What are the hazards of microwave therapy to the cervix?

Microwave therapy is a very advanced treatment method nowadays. The principle of this treatment method is relatively complicated. There are many precautions for microwave therapy now. For example, each treatment time cannot exceed half an hour. In addition, microwaves cannot directly irradiate human eyes, testicles and other parts. So if women choose microwave treatment, will it cause any harm to the cervix?

Harm of microwave therapy to the cervix:

Microwave treatment of cervical erosion uses the thermal effect of microwaves on tissues to coagulate tissue proteins, achieving the purpose of cauterization, coagulation and hemostasis. The total clinical effective rate is 98.7%. In terms of operation, there is no pain or bleeding during the operation, and the surrounding tissues are not damaged. The wound cells repair quickly after the operation and there is less vaginal bleeding. Although microwave therapy is very effective in treating cervical erosion, many patients still worry about whether microwave therapy will have side effects. Let’s take a look below.

Microwaves are electromagnetic waves, and many patients or their families worry about whether they will cause radiation to the human body. In fact, the radiation ability of electromagnetic waves is positively correlated with the frequency. The higher the frequency, the stronger the harmful radiation ability. The frequency of microwaves is not only lower than the visible light in our daily life, but also more than 100 times lower than the far infrared in the infrared band. Therefore, patients and their families do not need to worry that microwave therapy will cause large radiation to the human body and affect human health.

However, microwave therapy is a surgical method after all. Although it is relatively safe and has low postoperative risks, it should be noted that microwave therapy is mainly a thermal therapy method, and prevention of burns must be taken seriously. Since the penetrating ability of microwaves is much stronger than that of infrared rays, once a burn occurs, the consequences are relatively serious. Therefore, in terms of usage specifications, microwave therapy is prohibited for patients who are insensitive to heat to prevent burns.

1. Microwave treatment of cervical erosion

Microwave therapy is the most common method for treating cervical erosion. The main treatment principle is to place a microwave probe directly into the vagina to release energy. Generally speaking, the treatment effect is ideal, and if the operation is proper, it will generally not cause harm to the patient's body. However, if it is used improperly, it is likely to damage the patient's normal tissues.

2. Microwave treatment of cervical erosion and laser treatment

Laser technology is a relatively advanced method for treating cervical erosion, mainly for moderate cervical erosion. However, it should be noted that this treatment method also has certain limitations. It should be noted that if this treatment method is used improperly, it will also damage the patient's normal tissue. Therefore, to treat cervical erosion, you must choose a regular and professional plastic surgery hospital. This is very critical for patients.

3. Microwave treatment of cervical erosion and drug flushing

Medication is the most traditional method for treating cervical erosion and is also the simplest treatment method. However, it should be noted that when using medication to treat cervical erosion, one must pay attention to proper self-care, such as paying attention to the patient's source of infection. If the patient's pathogenic factors cannot be eliminated, cervical erosion is likely to recur.
