What examinations are done for cervical erosion?

1. Cervical erosion is one of the common gynecological diseases and a form of chronic cervicitis. The cervical erosion test is divided into four steps and many items, but not everyone needs to do all the items. The items that patients with cervical erosion need to do are related to the patient's cervical erosion.

2. Cervical columnar epithelial ectopy is a normal physiological phenomenon with no special clinical manifestations. Some people may have contact bleeding, but there are only individual differences in the cervix, just like some people chewing hard objects will produce some blood in the teeth or mouth. If there is leucorrhea, yellowing, and increased odor, it is manifested as cervicitis. Cervical cysts and hypertrophy are also the result of chronic cervical inflammation. There is no need to treat cervical columnar epithelial ectopy, and many current methods of treating cervical erosion are wrong. But for symptomatic cervicitis, treatment is needed. Acute inflammation is treated with suppositories, and chronic inflammation can be treated with physical therapy such as laser or freezing.

3. Prevention of cervical cancer Routine cervical cancer 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).

4. Some high-risk HPV-infected patients are prone to precancerous lesions and cervical cancer when they are persistently infected at the squamous junction of the cervix. Since the introduction of cervical smears, the mortality rate of cervical cancer has dropped significantly. The key is early prevention and treatment. It is recommended that women over the age of 21 undergo cervical smear tests every year.
