What are the symptoms of cervical erosion in women? Early symptoms of cervical erosion in women

Cervical erosion is actually a misunderstanding of the normal manifestation of the cervix in the past. Nowadays, it is replaced by the physiological phenomenon of "cervical columnar epithelium ectopia" in the academic community. So how to treat mild cervical erosion? What medicine is good to take? Let's learn about it next.

What is cervical erosion?

Before puberty, women's ovarian function is not perfect, estrogen is low, and the columnar epithelium is closer to the inside. After menstruation, the columnar epithelium is affected by estrogen and develops more to the outside. Therefore, more columnar epithelium similar to "erosion" is found during cervical examination. After menopause, women's estrogen levels drop, and the columnar epithelium begins to retreat to the inside. At this time, the "erosion" is no longer visible during examination. Therefore, in essence, the so-called cervical erosion is actually the eversion of the columnar epithelium.

What are the symptoms of cervical erosion?

Cervical columnar epithelial ectopia is a normal physiological phenomenon, and there is no special clinical manifestation. Some people may have contact bleeding, but it is just an individual difference in the cervix.

If the vaginal discharge is increased, yellow, and has a strange smell, it is a manifestation of cervical inflammation. Cervical cysts and hypertrophy are also the result of chronic cervical inflammation. The vulva and vagina may be stimulated by increased vaginal discharge, which may lead to vulvitis or vaginitis and cause itching and pain in the vulva and vagina.

Does cervical erosion need treatment? How to treat it?

Cervical columnar epithelial ectopia does not require any treatment. Many current methods for treating cervical erosion are wrong. However, symptomatic cervicitis needs to be treated. Acute inflammation is treated with suppositories, and chronic inflammation can be treated with physical therapy such as laser or freezing.

What medicine is good for cervical erosion and inflammation?

It is suitable for patients with shallow inflammatory infiltration during cervical erosion. Antibiotics can be used for local application, such as metronidazole, sulfonamides, furazolidone, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine is widely used in the treatment of cervical erosion in clinical practice, and the effect is also good. Some prescriptions and formulas are often selected, processed into powder or suppository, placed on cotton balls, and applied to the eroded surface.
