What should patients with cervical erosion pay attention to during preoperative examination? 6 major physical therapies for cervical erosion in women

In life, cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease, which is more common in women of childbearing age. It will have a certain impact and harm on the patient's physical health and fertility. Cervical erosion is also a manifestation of chronic cervicitis, and abnormal vaginal discharge is its most important symptom. Once severe cervical erosion worsens and develops, it can lead to infertility and cancer. What physical therapies are there for women to treat cervical erosion? What precautions should be taken in preoperative examinations for treating diseases?

Physical therapy for cervical erosion

1. Laser method

When the laser method was first used in clinical practice, it was sought after by many people. It was believed that it would not cause bleeding and that there was no pain during the operation. It is true that the use of laser to treat cervical erosion is an improvement, but it still has limitations. This is based on the principle of laser treatment. The laser acts directly on the lesion, and the high temperature generated will dehydrate, vaporize, and even carbonize the diseased tissue and cause it to fall off. Due to the local high temperature, the blood vessels will be closed, so there will be almost no or very little bleeding during the operation. But sometimes if the intensity of the laser is not well controlled, it will damage healthy tissues more. Therefore, the elasticity of the cervix will decrease significantly after the operation, which is a big trouble for women who have not yet given birth, and it is likely to cause cervical tearing during the production process in the future. Even for women who have already given birth, it is not good because it may affect the quality of life of the couple.

2. Microwave therapy

This method is to place a microwave probe directly into the vagina to release energy. Under the irradiation of microwaves, the blood circulation speed of the diseased tissue will be accelerated. In this way, the necrotic metabolites can be taken out by the blood, and the fresh blood will bring oxygen and various nutrients, which can promote the recovery of the lesions. For patients with mild and moderate cervical erosion, this therapy is the first choice. Perhaps severe patients will say: "Isn't this suitable for us?" This is not the case at all. For these patients, microwave therapy is an indispensable part before surgical treatment. After treatment, not only the degree of cervical erosion can be reduced, but also the area of ​​erosion can be reduced. In this way, the time for subsequent surgical treatment for patients with severe cervical erosion can be significantly shortened, and recovery will be faster.

3. Freezing method

The principle of this technology is very simple. The probe is inserted into the vulva, directly reaching the cervix, and then liquid nitrogen is released to sharply reduce the temperature of the lesion. The diseased tissue cells are frozen under the effect of low temperature, and then necrosis and shedding occur. The new healthy tissue covers the original lesion, and the disease is cured.

4. Spectral atomization method

This method combines the advantages of the above two methods. While spectral irradiation is performed on the lesion, it is supplemented by atomization spraying of drugs. This therapy combines the advantages of the above two methods, which can be said to completely "subvert" the traditional drug treatment, and its superiority is self-evident. It can be imagined that traditional treatment methods require large doses of drugs, and so many drugs are circulated throughout the body, and damage to the liver and kidneys is inevitable. However, this method is different. It sprays the drug directly into the local part of the lesion tissue and uses spectral irradiation to promote the absorption of the drug. The minimum dose of the drug can achieve the best therapeutic effect. For patients with mild symptoms, the frequency of irradiation can be lower, the penetration distance can be smaller, and the time can be shorter; for patients with moderate to severe symptoms, because the lesion area is larger and deeper, the frequency can be increased to make its therapeutic effect deeper and wider.

5. LEEP knife treatment technology

LEEp knife treatment technology is currently internationally recognized as an advanced technology for the treatment of cervical erosion. It can eliminate erosion painlessly, non-invasively, quickly and safely, while retaining the elasticity of the cervix and the integrity of the organ, without affecting future fertility. It uses ultra-high frequency (microwave) radio waves. At the moment of contact with body tissues, the tissue itself generates impedance, absorbs radio waves to generate high heat, and forms steam waves in the water in the cells to complete the treatment. Under computer automatic control, radio wave energy accurately locates and acts on the deep part of the diseased tissue, destroys the diseased tissue from the base, and does not cause any damage to the normal cervical tissue. Generally, after 6-8 weeks of treatment, the cervix can fully restore its original elasticity, the cervix is ​​smooth, and there are no scabs, scars and other sequelae. It does not affect the couple's life and is not easy to relapse. A single 10-minute treatment is sufficient, and no hospitalization is required. It does not generate electromagnetic radiation and has no effect on adjacent tissues and organs such as the uterus and ovaries. It is suitable for women who have not given birth.

6. BBT radiofrequency ablation

The treatment principle of BBT radiofrequency ablation is to use the thermal effect generated instantly by radiofrequency ablation to make the lesion tissue coagulate and necrotize. During the treatment, no smoke, no carbonized tissue, no damage, no odor are generated. After 3 to 4 weeks, the mucosal epithelium gradually covers the wound surface, and the color is completely restored to normal. This is in addition to physical therapy and drug treatment. For the treatment of severe cervical erosion, radiofrequency ablation is currently the minimally invasive treatment method with the least adverse reactions in clinical practice. Compared with its "predecessors" freezing or laser methods, the technology is much more mature, and the degree of damage to healthy tissues is also reduced to the minimum. The specific treatment method in clinical practice is to use an American radiofrequency ablation device, insert an electrode through the vagina, pass high-frequency current to the local lesion tissue, and eliminate the lesion tissue without any pain. More importantly, the cervix still maintains good elasticity after surgery, so that women have a good quality of life.

Precautions before cervical erosion surgery

1. Routine gynecological examination

Before preparing for the treatment of cervical erosion, you should first undergo a routine gynecological examination. After the examination, if it is confirmed that there are no other diseases, further examination can be considered before treatment can be carried out.

2. Do cervical cytology examination

This test is to check whether there are any abnormal changes in the exfoliated cells of the patient's cervical mucosa. Cervical cytology is a diagnostic method for early detection of reproductive tract tumors. If this test is passed, the next step can be carried out.

3. Colposcopy

After the cervical cytology examination, a colposcopy is performed to further determine the extent of cervical erosion and the location of the erosion, which is one of the precautions for preoperative treatment of cervical erosion.

4. Operation time

The surgery should be performed during a normal menstrual cycle. Generally, the treatment is performed 3-7 days after the menstrual period ends. Sexual intercourse is prohibited during the waiting period. Because the cervical mucosal epithelium will fall off after treatment and then new epithelium will grow, so it should be avoided during the menstrual period.
