What are the best ways to treat cervical erosion?

We want to have the best way to do anything, because we know that the best way can solve our problems and help us overcome difficulties in the best and fastest way. We have the same mentality when we suffer from any disease. For example, patients with cervical erosion want the best way to treat cervical erosion. There are many ways to treat it. If we say the best way, we have to judge it according to each person's situation and cannot generalize. So what are the best ways to treat cervical erosion? Let’s find out together.

There are generally three types of cervical erosion: mild, moderate and severe. If a woman is of childbearing age and has mild cervical erosion but no symptoms, no treatment is required. There are some physiological factors that cause erosion. If it is moderate to severe erosion, it must be diagnosed in a regular hospital. Except for cervical cancer, some physical treatments can be done. Microwave, laser, freezing, and radiofrequency ablation are more commonly used now, and these treatments are more effective. Generally, one treatment may be enough, or two treatments at most.

Western medicine treatment of cervical erosion

1. Drug treatment: It has few side effects and is more suitable for women who have not given birth. The most common drugs for treating cervical erosion abroad are Shadier Gel, Huijian Combination, and external medication Xiaomi Suppositories, which are effective but relatively expensive. 110-30% silver nitrate solution or 10% iodine: Use a cotton swab to carefully apply the medicine to the affected area. After using silver nitrate, apply normal saline to convert excess silver nitrate into non-corrosive silver chloride. Take twice a week, 4 to 6 times as a course of treatment, and repeat if necessary.

2 Potassium dichromate solution: Dip a cotton swab in the medicine and carefully apply it to the affected area. Apply the medicine once after the menstruation is over, and repeat after the next menstruation. It is sometimes more effective for those with larger erosion areas. Before applying the medicine, wipe the cervical mucus with 0.1% chlorhexidine, and place two cotton balls in the posterior fornix to prevent the medicine from flowing down and burning the vaginal mucosa. After finishing, take out the cotton ball and wipe the applied area with a 75% alcohol cotton swab. Formula: 10g potassium dichromate, 75ml concentrated sulfuric acid, add water to 100ml.

2. Physical therapy: suitable for patients with moderate and severe cervical erosion. Commonly used methods include electric ironing, laser therapy, and cryotherapy. The disadvantage is that the side effects are large and may cause the nerve sensitivity of the vaginal wall to decrease, affecting the quality of sexual life. In addition, it is easy to relapse after being cured.

3. Surgical treatment: If the above treatment is ineffective, or there is cervical hypertrophy, or the erosion is deep and wide, and involves the cervical canal, cervical conization or total hysterectomy may be considered. However, surgical treatment is rarely used nowadays. However, the worst consequence of the surgery is that it can cause infertility in women! You need to choose carefully! In addition, cervical erosion is a manifestation of cervicitis, and the two do not need to be strictly distinguished. The cervix, endocervical canal, and vagina all belong to the extragenital channel. For inflammatory lesions in various parts of the extragenital channel, there is a disinfection pen that uses ultraviolet light. It is effective and harmless for cervicitis erosion. However, there is a type of cervicitis called Nabothian cyst, which is a cystic protrusion formed by tissue hyperplasia. The disinfectant pen has an inhibitory effect on the proliferation of Nabothian cyst, but those with higher cyst protrusions must be surgically removed.

The above introduces the best methods for treating cervical erosion from various aspects. From this, we can see that there are many ways to treat cervical diseases, but the best method may not be suitable for you. We cannot blindly follow others in doing anything. We must find the method that suits us best. Only in this way can we have a healthy body and be able to do more of what we want to do.
