Can mild cervical erosion heal on its own?

Cervical erosion generally refers to cervical columnar epithelial ectopia. Mild cervical columnar epithelial ectopia can usually heal on its own and generally does not require special treatment.

Cervical columnar epithelial ectopy is a normal physiological phenomenon. Under the influence of estrogen in the body, the columnar epithelium of the endocervical canal will move to the endocervical canal. Because the columnar epithelium is thin and red, it looks like erosion. Women usually do not have symptoms of physical discomfort. This condition usually does not require special treatment. After a period of time, the columnar epithelium of the endocervical canal will return to normal and can heal itself without drug treatment.

If women do not take good care of their private parts or have frequent sexual intercourse during this period, it may irritate the cervical mucosa and easily induce inflammation and infection. Under the repeated stimulation of inflammation, local mucosal rupture and bleeding may occur, and inflammatory exudation may also occur, causing vulvar itching, increased secretions, and vaginal odor symptoms. At this time, it is necessary to take antibiotics in time under the guidance of a doctor, such as amoxicillin capsules, levofloxacin hydrochloride capsules, clindamycin hydrochloride capsules, etc., which can play an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory role. If necessary, metronidazole suppositories, tinidazole suppositories, Baofukang suppositories and other drugs can be used under the guidance of a doctor.
