How to diagnose cervical erosion in women? These examinations are essential for patients with cervical erosion

Cervical erosion is a very serious disease for women. If you want to treat cervical erosion, you should first get checked to confirm your disease. The following experts will show you how to check cervical erosion.

Inspection items

1. Gynecological examination

The main purpose is to check the condition of the cervix, including the size of the cervix, the thickness of the cervical canal, its shape, texture, echo, and whether there is contact bleeding, etc. At the same time, the condition of the vulva, vagina, uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic lymph nodes and other paracervical tissues should also be checked.

2. Cervical smear cytology examination

It is a routine gynecological examination, simple, easy, economical and effective, and can be used as the first choice for cancer screening. The specific operation is to collect some secretions from the vagina and cervix of women, smear them on a glass slide, stain them, and then place them under a microscope for examination.

3. Colposcopy

It uses a microscope that magnifies the cervix, combined with light sources and filters, to clearly examine the cervix to observe changes in the cervical epithelium and blood vessels, diagnose whether there are abnormal lesions, and determine the severity of the lesions. Colposcopy can quickly detect lesions that are invisible to the naked eye. Taking biopsies from suspicious areas during colposcopy can significantly improve the accuracy of biopsies.

In addition to the above inspections, commonly used inspection methods also include iodine test, acetic acid white test, visual observation, etc.

Gynecologists say that if cervical erosion is confirmed through the above examinations, then timely treatment should be given, and the treatment method suitable for you should be selected according to the type of cervical erosion. For mild cervical erosion, drug treatment can be used. If the condition is more serious, surgical treatment is required.

Nursing knowledge

1. Keep the vulva clean for cervical erosion. It is very necessary to keep the vulva clean, and you should go to the hospital for regular check-ups to achieve early detection and early treatment, and avoid unclean sexual intercourse. Pay attention to the hygiene of sexual life, properly control sexual life and avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation.

2. For cervical erosion, on the basis of normal diet, appropriate fat restriction should be adopted. Within one week after surgery, fat should be controlled at about 80 grams per day. For those with menstrual disorders, irritating foods should be avoided, such as chili peppers, wine, vinegar, pepper, ginger, etc. These foods can stimulate congestion of sexual organs and increase menstrual volume.

3. Cervical erosion requires adequate protein intake. If the intake is insufficient, the body's resistance will be reduced. Therefore, you can eat more chicken, lean pork, eggs, milk, beans, bean products, etc.

4. After cervical erosion surgery, the body is weak and prone to sweating. Therefore, water should be replenished in small amounts and multiple times to reduce water evaporation; sweat excretes more water-soluble vitamins, especially vitamin C, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2. Therefore, you should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. This is also helpful to prevent constipation.

5. Pay attention to health care during key periods. Because many women are very susceptible to this disease, they must pay attention to health care, especially during menstruation, pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Cervical erosion is quite harmful to women, so everyone should do a good job of care in daily life and face the disease with a good attitude, and success will be just around the corner.
