How do women distinguish between cervical erosion and cervicitis? Tips for early medication treatment of cervical erosion in women

Cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease and one of the manifestations of chronic cervicitis. Cervical erosion is no less harmful to women's health than cervicitis, especially severe cervical erosion, which should be taken seriously and patients should go to the hospital for treatment immediately. If cervical erosion is not treated for a long time, it will cause great harm to women's health. In addition to causing abnormal leucorrhea, blood, lower abdominal pain, and pain during sexual intercourse, it will also affect fertility. Severe cervical erosion, in particular, has the possibility of canceration, and in severe cases it will threaten women's lives. Gynecological experts said that cervical erosion is very harmful and timely treatment is the key.

Patients with mild cervical erosion are often unaware of the dangers of the disease and do not pay attention to medication in the early stages, which eventually worsens the condition and causes serious harm.

Early medication treatment of cervical erosion

1. Vaginal douching

The eroded cervix is ​​often immersed in the inflammatory secretions in the vagina for a long time. Removing these inflammatory secretions is crucial to the treatment of cervical erosion. Vaginal irrigation is often performed with liquids containing drugs to flush out the inflammatory secretions so that the cervix is ​​no longer stimulated by the inflammatory secretions.

Commonly used drugs include potassium permanganate powder (also called pp powder), baking soda, Jie'eryin wash, Fuyintai wash, Fuyinjie wash, Fukang wash, povidone iodine solution, etc. These drugs must be dissolved or diluted with warm water before use. When using, it is best to use a flushing device to flush the solution of these drugs into the vagina.

2. Vaginal medication

Cervical erosion is related to certain viruses and Chlamydia trachomatis infections. Intravaginal medication is mainly aimed at these pathogens.

Mild cervical erosion is the mildest of cervical erosions, which means that the erosion area is less than 1/3 of the total area of ​​the cervix. It can be cured by medication. Many women miss the medication treatment for mild cervical erosion because they don't know much about it. Early detection of cervical erosion and medication treatment are also very effective. Whether medication treatment can be used depends on the patient's condition.

Cervical erosion should be differentiated from cervicitis

1. Cervical erosion

According to the depth of the erosion surface, cervical erosion can be divided into three types: mild erosion, moderate erosion, and severe erosion. The area of ​​mild erosion generally does not exceed one-third of the entire cervix; the area of ​​moderate erosion is between one-third and two-thirds of the entire cervix, and severe erosion can occupy more than two-thirds of the entire cervix. According to the nature of erosion, it can be divided into three types: simple type, granular type, and papillary type. The cause of the disease is mainly related to factors such as improper local cleaning or bad sexual life. The diagnosis needs to be clearly determined based on cervical smear examination and biopsy.

2. Cervicitis

There are two types of cervicitis in clinical practice: acute and chronic. Chronic cervicitis is more common. According to the different pathogens, cervicitis can be divided into staphylococcal cervicitis, streptococcal cervicitis, Escherichia coli cervicitis, anaerobic cervicitis, etc. Its cause is related to the damage to the cervix caused by childbirth, abortion, surgery, radiation, etc. The diagnosis requires pathogen testing and white blood cell examination. In addition, in the examination of cervical canal signs, purulent or mucopurulent secretions can be seen with the naked eye.
