How to best treat patients with second-degree cervical erosion? 5 treatment methods for second-degree cervical erosion in women

In today's gynecological clinics, cervical erosion is the most common gynecological disease and is often a high-incidence disease among women seeking treatment. Women with second-degree cervical erosion are often more common in women of childbearing age, because they have more frequent sexual contact than unmarried women and are more likely to develop diseases in improper sexual life. What is the best treatment option for patients with second-degree cervical erosion?

1. Physiological changes, no treatment required

Most of the time, second-degree cervical erosion is a normal physiological change caused by rising estrogen levels. After menopause, the estrogen level decreases and the cervix becomes smooth, just like a few "pimples" and no treatment is needed.

2. Treat Inflammation

Before treating second-degree cervical erosion, the possibility of cervical cancer should be ruled out first, because second-degree cervical cancer cannot be identified with the naked eye, and a cervical smear is needed to understand the presence of cervical malignancies. If it is cervical cancer and physical therapy is used incorrectly, it will not only delay the treatment of cervical cancer, but may also spread cancer cells. Before treatment, it is also necessary to ask a gynecologist to rule out inflammation of the vagina and cervix, especially combined with sexually transmitted diseases, to avoid worsening inflammation or affecting the healing of cervical wounds.

Some cervical inflammations, cervical neoplasia and even cervical cancer may manifest in the form of cervical erosion. At this time, the primary disease needs to be treated, but it is not the so-called "treatment of cervical erosion."

3. Local treatment

Second-degree cervical erosion is usually treated with local treatment, and there are many methods, such as drug therapy, physical therapy, and surgical treatment. Vaginal medications are mostly traditional Chinese medicine or a mixture of traditional Chinese medicine and antibiotics, which have the effects of clearing away heat and dampness, reducing swelling and relieving pain, activating blood circulation and promoting tissue regeneration, and are non-invasive, convenient to use, and easily accepted by patients. They are suitable for patients with mild cervical erosion.

4. Specific treatment methods

Physical therapy

It is an effective and most commonly used method for treating cervicitis. The principle of this method is to use some physical methods to destroy the single layer of columnar epithelium on the cervical erosion surface, let it necrotize and fall off, and then it will be covered with a layer of new stratified squamous epithelium. Commonly used physical treatments include microwave, infrared coagulation and laser.

Drug therapy

The most commonly used drug treatment method is to irrigate the local vagina and apply local medicine. You can also use Chinese medicine lotion to clean the cervix. This drug treatment method is suitable for a variety of acute and chronic cervicitis.

Surgery

If the above methods are ineffective, or the cervix becomes enlarged, or the erosion becomes deep and wide, and the disease affects the cervical canal, then total hysterectomy or cervical conization can be considered.

5. Postoperative care

Second-degree cervical erosion will produce increased secretions or even a large amount of fluid discharge after treatment. Pay attention to the hygiene of the vulva and wash it frequently, but do not use vaginal suppositories or perform vaginal douching on your own. Change underwear frequently and use sanitary pads when necessary.

Warm reminder: Whether it is vaginal medication, laser treatment or microwave, the cure rate of second-degree cervical erosion is higher than that of moderate and severe cervical erosion. This shows that no matter what method is used, second-degree cervical erosion has a good therapeutic effect. It is suggested that once cervical erosion is found, it should be treated in time to avoid developing into severe form and increasing the difficulty of treatment.
