Is female cervical erosion contagious? Female cervical erosion is often treated with three methods

Cervical erosion is a disease with a relatively high incidence rate among women. Of course, many men are worried that cervical erosion will be contagious. In fact, cervical erosion is not contagious and does not belong to the category of infectious diseases, so if you do not have cervical erosion, you do not have to worry about infecting others. Of course, if you have this disease, you need to seek medical treatment in time. Below, I will introduce the treatment methods for cervical erosion!

1. Drug treatment

It has small side effects and is more suitable for women who have not given birth. The most common drugs for treating cervical erosion abroad are Shadier Gel, Huijian Combination, and external medicine Xiaomi Suppositories, which are more effective but relatively expensive.

1. Carefully apply 10-30% silver nitrate solution or 10% iodine to the affected area with a cotton swab. After applying silver nitrate, apply physiological saline to convert excess silver nitrate into non-corrosive silver chloride. Apply twice a week, 4-6 times as a course of treatment, and repeat if necessary.

2. Use a cotton swab to dip the potassium dichromate solution and carefully apply it to the affected area. Apply the medicine once after the menstruation is over, and repeat it after the next menstruation. For those with larger erosions, the effect is sometimes better. Before applying the medicine, wipe the cervical mucus with 0.1% chlorhexidine, and place two cotton balls in the posterior fornix to prevent the medicine from flowing down and burning the vaginal mucosa. After that, take out the cotton balls and wipe the application area with a 75% alcohol cotton swab (formula: 10g potassium dichromate, 75ml concentrated sulfuric acid, add water to 100ml).

2. Physical therapy

It is suitable for patients with moderate and severe cervical erosion. Commonly used methods include electric ironing, laser therapy, and cryotherapy. The disadvantage is that the side effects are large, which may cause the sensitivity of the nerves in the inner wall of the vagina to decrease, affecting the quality of sexual life. In addition, it is easy to relapse after treatment.

Many people have heard that scars on the neck after physical therapy will affect pregnancy, which makes many infertile women refuse physical therapy. So how should infertile women with cervical erosion be treated?

First of all, we need to look at the degree and nature of the erosion. Cervical erosion is divided into three degrees: mild, moderate, and severe according to the depth of the lesion. If it is mild and superficial erosion, even if the erosion surface is large, if the erosion depth is shallow and there is not much leucorrhea, it can be temporarily left untreated. If it is moderate or above papillary erosion, cancer prevention examinations and treatment must be done. As long as you pay attention to the treatment range not affecting the cervical canal during physical therapy, you don't have to worry too much. This depends on the doctor's correct diagnosis of the disease and his proficiency in the operation. Of course, it is a bit risky, so it is best for women who have not given birth to take drug treatment.

3. Surgical treatment

If the above treatments are ineffective, or there is cervical hypertrophy, or the erosion is deep and wide, and involves the cervical canal, cervical conization or total hysterectomy can be considered. However, surgical treatment is rarely used now. However, the worst consequence of surgery is that it can cause infertility in women! You need to choose carefully!
