Specific introduction to physical therapy for the treatment of cervical erosion: Physical therapy: used for cervical erosion with a large erosion area and deep inflammatory infiltration. 1. Electric ironing: using a special electric iron to burn the eroded surface tissue to make it necrotic and fall off. It is a commonly used method for the treatment of cervical erosion; 2. Cryotherapy: using a special rapid freezing device to freeze, necrotic, and fall off the diseased tissue on the cervical erosion surface. 3. Laser therapy: Use carbon dioxide laser therapy device to carbonize, inflame and fall off the eroded tissue. 4. KS instrument treatment: It uses special band light and heat treatment and is painless. The effect is good. During the treatment with the above methods, attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the vulva. Living, vaginal douching and sitting bathing are prohibited.

1. Principles and classification of cervical erosion

Cervical erosion is a phenomenon caused by ectopic columnar epithelium of the cervical canal. So the official medical name is "cervical columnar epithelium ectopia". It usually presents as cervical erosion, which is red in color, and sometimes there may be a large amount of mucus covering the surface of the cervix or present in the vagina.

Cervical erosion itself is a physiological phenomenon and does not require treatment. But what is annoying is that the columnar epithelium on the surface of the cervix has a nature of secreting a large amount of mucus. This mucus is as nutritious as serum, and is suitable for the massive reproduction of bacteria residing in the vagina. People with cervical erosion are prone to recurrent various vaginal inflammations. Over time, a large number of bacteria can easily ascend to infect the endometrium, fallopian tubes, ovaries, or pelvic soft tissues, causing endometritis, adnexitis, and genital pelvic inflammatory disease. These inflammatory conditions, so-called gynecological diseases, are one of the main causes of infertility.

According to the size of the area, cervical erosion is divided into three degrees: mild, moderate and severe. In mild cases, the erosion area occupies less than 1/3 of the cervical surface area, in moderate cases, less than 2/3, and in severe cases, more than 2/3 of the cervical surface area. In some cases, the entire cervix is ​​eroded.

According to the depth of the lesions and the length of the disease course, cervical erosion is divided into simple, granular, and papillary erosion.

2. Does cervical erosion need treatment?

Since cervical erosion is a physiological phenomenon, does it need treatment? Based on many years of clinical experience, the author proposes the following treatment principles:

Whether or not to treat cervical erosion should be considered based on factors such as the degree of erosion, whether the woman has given birth, and the time of pregnancy planned for those who have not given birth.

1 Mild simple, granular, and papillary erosions do not require treatment. You only need to do TCT regularly every year. If there is no problem, it is OK.

2Moderate erosion, regardless of type, generally does not require treatment. TCT also needs to be reviewed regularly. But those who do have symptoms, such as leucorrhea

Those who have frequent, yellowish, or recurrent vaginitis can consider treatment, and the treatment method should vary from person to person.

When treating cervical erosion, not every patient is suitable for physical treatment, because the treatment method of this disease needs to vary from person to person. The degree of the disease and the patient's symptoms are different, so the chosen treatment method is also very different. If you want to treat it yourself, it is best to consult a doctor and choose the most suitable method for symptomatic treatment based on your symptoms.
