Does severe cervical erosion require treatment?

Cervical erosion generally refers to cervical columnar epithelial ectopy. Whether the severity of cervical columnar epithelial ectopy requires treatment should be determined based on the specific situation. If there is no inflammation, treatment is generally not required. If inflammation usually requires treatment, the details are as follows:

1. No treatment is required: Current medical research believes that cervical columnar epithelium ectopia is not a disease, but a normal physiological phenomenon. It refers to the eversion of the cervical columnar epithelium under the action of hormone levels in the body, exposing it to the cervical vagina. The eversion of the cervical columnar epithelium is bright red, so it looks like erosion, but it is not pathological erosion. If the eversion of the cervical columnar epithelium is severe, but there are no other symptoms. Usually no special treatment is required.

2. Treatment is needed: Direct contact with the cervical column epithelium is susceptible to invasion by pathogens. If sexual intercourse is too frequent, or if good personal hygiene is not maintained in daily life, it may lead to excessive reproduction of pathogens, causing inflammatory diseases such as vaginitis and cervicitis. If the above diseases are combined, you should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. Under the doctor's guidance, you can take oral medications such as cefuroxime tablets, amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets, and metronidazole tablets.

Sexual intercourse should be avoided during the period of disease complications, otherwise it may lead to recurrence of the disease and be detrimental to recovery.
