What to do with mild to moderate cervical erosion

Some people say that many women will have gynecological diseases of varying degrees, especially married women, and the incidence of gynecological inflammation is higher among women who have given birth. Some minor vaginal diseases are relatively easy to treat, but if there is a problem with the cervix, it is still necessary to treat it in time. Many people now have mild to moderate cervical erosion. If it is not treated in time, it will develop into severe, which will be very serious. Next, let’s take a look at the methods for treating mild to moderate cervical erosion.

Cervical columnar epithelium ectopia is a normal physiological phenomenon and has no special clinical manifestations. Some people may experience contact bleeding, but this is just an individual difference in the cervix, just like some people will bleed from their teeth or mouth when they chew something hard.

If the amount of vaginal discharge increases, becomes yellow, and has an odor, it is a sign of cervical inflammation. The cyst and hypertrophy of the cervix are also the result of chronic cervical inflammation.

Cervical columnar epithelium ectopia does not require any treatment, and many current methods of treating cervical erosion are wrong. But for symptomatic cervicitis, treatment is needed. Acute inflammation is treated with suppositories, while chronic inflammation can be treated with physical therapy such as laser or freezing.

Regular examination of the cervix is ​​necessary, not to prevent cervical erosion, but to prevent cervical cancer. The occurrence of cervical cancer is related to infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). Some patients infected with high-risk HPV are prone to precancerous lesions and cervical cancer when they are persistently infected in the squamous-columnar junction of the cervix. Since the advent of cervical smear testing, the mortality rate of cervical cancer has dropped significantly. The key is early prevention and treatment. It is currently recommended that women over the age of 21 should undergo a cervical smear test once a year. After the age of 30, an HPV test can be combined. If three consecutive HPV and cervical smear tests are negative, the interval can be extended to once every three years. Screening can be stopped after the age of 65.

If the cervix is ​​inflamed, it is necessary to seek timely treatment, otherwise it will get worse and worse and may induce cervical cancer, which is a very dangerous situation. Many women do not feel anything abnormal when there is a problem with their cervix, so for women, they must have a gynecological examination every year. They should also go to a large hospital for the examination. Doctors in some small hospitals may exaggerate the condition.
