Does severe cervical erosion necessarily require electrocautery?

1. Cervical erosion clinically refers to cervical columnar epithelial ectopia. Severe cervical columnar epithelial ectopia does not necessarily require electrocautery. Severe cervical columnar epithelial ectopia requires active cooperation with doctors for treatment.

2. Ectopic cervical columnar epithelium is a physiological phenomenon. Affected by the level of estrogen in the body, the columnar epithelium at the inner opening of the cervical canal will move to the outer opening of the cervical canal. Because the columnar epithelium is relatively thin, the subcutaneous stroma is red, and it looks like erosion to the naked eye. If there is no discomfort in the body, no special treatment is required. Ectopic cervical columnar epithelium is generally divided into three degrees.

3. If it is a serious case of cervical columnar epithelial ectopia, symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, vulvar itching, and vaginal odor may occur. At this time, physical therapy can be used, and electrocautery therapy can be selected, which uses the principle of high temperature to carbonize local eroded tissue and necrosis to achieve the purpose of treatment. If women are not suitable for electrocautery therapy, they can also be treated with physical methods such as laser therapy, cryotherapy, and microwave therapy, which can improve local erosion symptoms and restore the cervical mucosa to smoothness. If women suffer from severe cervical columnar epithelial ectopia, they can choose a treatment method that suits them.

4. During the treatment, keep the vulva clean, wear loose and comfortable underwear, and avoid having sex during the treatment to avoid affecting the recovery of the disease.
