What are the causes of cervical erosion? How to treat cervical erosion in women?

Causes of cervical erosion

1. Problems with sexual life

Unclean sexual life, having many sexual partners, excessive sexual intensity, having sex during menstruation, etc. can all cause cervical erosion, and these reasons cannot be ignored.

2. Multiple artificial abortions

Repeated artificial abortions will cause varying degrees of damage to the cervix, providing bacteria with an opportunity to invade, leading to cervicitis. Because of the stimulation of inflammation, local secretions will increase. If the cervix is ​​immersed in secretions for a long time, it will cause cervical erosion.

3. Menstruation lasts too long

Women whose menstrual cycles are too short or too long are more likely to have cervical erosion. Therefore, women can reduce the occurrence of cervical erosion by extending or shortening their menstrual periods.

4. Over-cleaning

Some women are too particular about hygiene, but lack some necessary common sense, and often use some highly concentrated disinfectants to wash the vagina, which has the opposite effect. This is because it is not conducive to the growth of normal flora in the vagina, and thus the effect of inhibiting bacteria will also be reduced, thus causing varying degrees of damage to the cervical epithelium, or even erosion.

How to treat cervical erosion

1. Drug treatment: Suitable for patients with small erosion area and shallow inflammatory infiltration. 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.

2. Physical therapy: It is a widely used treatment method with the advantages of short treatment course and good efficacy. It is suitable for patients with large erosion area and deep inflammatory infiltration. Commonly used methods include electric ironing, laser therapy, and cryotherapy.

3. Traditional surgical treatment: If the above treatments are ineffective, or if there is cervical hypertrophy, or the erosion is deep and wide, and involves the cervical canal, traditional surgical treatments such as total hysterectomy can be considered. However, surgical treatment is rarely used now.

4. High-frequency LEEP technique: The tissue specimen is intact and is not prone to the phenomenon of tissue elongation and carbonization that occurs during traditional electric knife cutting. Intact tissue specimens can be obtained that do not affect pathological examination.

5. BBT ablation: BBT ablation is a very delicate surgery for the treatment of cervical erosion. It not only does not damage the surrounding tissues, but also is painless during the treatment and leaves no scars after the operation. It can also better avoid complications such as bleeding or infection, and has the advantage of not affecting reproductive function after the operation.
