How to treat cervical erosion in women? Take four measures to effectively prevent cervical erosion

The data of female cervical cancer is increasing year by year. Many women have a high fear of this disease, especially those with cervical erosion. Many people think that cervical erosion is a precursor to cervical cancer and are very afraid of it. This idea is wrong. The recurrence of cervical erosion is mainly due to the mistakes in treatment and care methods. What should women do if they have cervical erosion? Experts share four measures in daily life to protect cervical health. Let's take a look!

There is no necessary connection between cervical erosion and cervical cancer

The so-called "cervical erosion" is actually columnar epithelial ectopia, which is just a physiological phenomenon of women. It may occur in both married and unmarried women. It will not occur again until the estrogen level drops after menopause and the columnar epithelium retreats back into the cervix.

Cervical cancer is caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HpV). Cervical cancer cannot be identified by the naked eye and is often manifested as contact bleeding. Cervical lesions may be erosive or more likely to be smooth.

Cervical cancer is not caused by cervical erosion, and it cannot be judged reliably by cervical erosion. To prevent cervical cancer, regular cervical examinations are required. However, the incidence of cervical cancer in women with cervical erosion is 0.73%, which is much higher than the 0.1% risk of cervical cancer in healthy women. Therefore, if you suffer from cervical erosion, you should seek medical attention in time, and do not ignore it if you feel you have no obvious symptoms.

Why does cervical erosion recur?

The causes of cervical erosion include repeated abortions, unclean sexual life, and excessive menstruation. These problems may cause damage to the cervix, leading to inflammation or epithelial odor, thus forming erosion.

If cervical erosion has no special clinical manifestations, it does not need over-treatment. Frequent treatment of cervical precancerous lesions is a typical over-treatment. In addition to bleeding and infection, it can also lead to damage to the cervix and adjacent organs, and is more likely to miss the diagnosis of cervical cancer and precancerous lesions.

When columnar epithelial odor is combined with infection, resulting in increased vaginal discharge, odor, and bleeding symptoms, you must receive correct treatment under the guidance of a doctor and do not take medication on your own, otherwise the inflammation will be aggravated, which will lead to recurrent cervical erosion.

In addition, vaginal inflammation, abortion surgery, etc. may also cause recurrence of cervical erosion. Therefore, in addition to treatment, paying attention to personal hygiene and avoiding pathogens can effectively prevent recurrence.

Four life measures to protect cervical health

How to protect cervical health and prevent cervical erosion is actually very simple. Just remember 4 simple points:

It is best to wear cotton underwear. Wash underwear separately and do not use a washing machine to avoid bacterial infection. Dry underwear in the sun and do not wear underwear that has not been dried.

Do not over-clean. Blindly using vaginal wash to cleanse the vagina is a taboo, especially when the vulva is uncomfortable. Indiscriminate use of vaginal wash may cause vaginitis and aggravate cervical erosion.

Sexual life should be moderate, and unclean sexual behavior should be avoided. If the condom is not of good quality, it may also cause cervical erosion;

Use sanitary pads less frequently. Long-term use of sanitary pads will make the vulva poorly ventilated, thus leading to infection. Try to use them only for a short period before and after menstruation.

After studying this article, I believe you have a certain understanding of cervical erosion. Women should pay attention to protective measures in daily life and adjust their lifestyles to avoid sitting for long periods of time and eating irritating foods, which can affect cervical erosion. For the sake of your own health, pay attention from now on!
