What are the symptoms of female cervical erosion? How to treat female cervical erosion?

Cervical erosion is a type of female disease. Today, experts will tell you about the symptoms and treatments of cervical erosion. Let’s take a look.

What are the symptoms of cervical erosion?

The symptoms of cervical erosion are quite typical. Affected by the secretion of estrogen, to the naked eye, the external opening of the cervix is ​​a granular red area, as if "erosion" has occurred.

Earlier textbooks listed "cervical erosion" as one of the symptoms of chronic cervicitis, believing that the size of the area is a measure of the severity of the inflammation. An area less than 1/3 is mild, 1/3-2/3 is moderate, and more than 2/3 is severe. However, this is actually just the different degrees of eversion of the columnar epithelium after being affected by estrogen, which is a normal physiological phenomenon.

It should be noted that cervical erosion should be differentiated from cervicitis. If there is an increase in leucorrhea, yellowing, and odor, these are manifestations of cervicitis, which is a symptom of infection on the cervix. Cervical cysts and hypertrophy are also the result of chronic cervical inflammation. Once symptoms of cervicitis appear, you should see a doctor as soon as possible and do not delay the condition.

Can cervical erosion be cured?

The incidence of cervical erosion in adult women is very high, about 60%. Cervical erosion is also possible to "heal" by itself, because the human body has a natural tendency to restore normal structure, and the columnar epithelium exposed on the surface of the cervix will gradually be replaced by squamous epithelium, thus changing from rough to smooth, but this process takes a long time, from a few months to several years.

How to treat cervical erosion?

Cervical erosion is not a disease, but a normal physiological phenomenon, so no treatment is needed. From various traditional Chinese medicine treatments, acupuncture, fire ironing therapy, electrocautery, freezing, high-frequency electric knife, to ultrasound, electroresection, microwave, laser, and now the most advanced LEEp knife, the medical community has an endless stream of treatments for cervical erosion, which is a typical means of overtreatment.

Compared with the over-treatment of cervical erosion, symptomatic cervicitis needs to be treated. The specific treatment method needs to be determined by different hospitals, but in general, acute inflammation can be treated with suppositories, and chronic inflammation can be treated with physical treatments such as laser or freezing.
