Does cervical erosion need treatment?

Cervical erosion clinically refers to cervical columnar epithelial ectopia. Whether cervical columnar epithelial ectopia needs treatment should be analyzed based on the individual's actual situation. If there is no inflammation or infection, treatment is generally not required, otherwise it may need treatment.

The details are as follows:

1. No need: Cervical column epithelial ectopia is a normal physiological phenomenon, usually referring to the endocervical column epithelium to the endocervical canal outlet. It may show erosion in imaging examinations and does not fall within the scope of disease. If the patient has no obvious clinical symptoms, it generally disappears with changes in estrogen levels in the body. This situation usually does not require treatment.

2. Need: If cervical columnar epithelium ectopia is complicated by local inflammatory infection, symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, odor, and vulvar itching may occur. If not treated in time, it may cause diseases such as endometritis and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, which may seriously affect normal fertility. You can take azithromycin capsules, minocycline hydrochloride capsules, doxycycline hydrochloride tablets and other drugs under the guidance of a doctor. Active treatment can significantly relieve symptoms.

Patients need to develop good hygiene habits, avoid unclean sexual life, keep the vulva clean, try to develop good living habits, and actively exercise to improve their physical fitness.
