Is the recurrence rate of cervical erosion high in women? What are the reasons that make cervical erosion difficult to heal?

Cervical erosion is a long-term and difficult-to-cure disease in clinical practice, which has a great impact on the patient's body and mind. However, in terms of general regular treatment, as long as proper protection is taken, the probability of recurrence of cervical erosion in patients after treatment can be very low, as long as preventive measures and care are taken to stay away from inducing factors. So, what factors are related to the recurrence of cervical erosion? How to treat cervical erosion after recurrence?

Is the recurrence rate of cervical erosion high?

Generally speaking, the cure rate of cervical erosion is very high, especially after physical therapy, the cure rate is higher, and it is not easy to relapse. According to statistics, the recurrence rate is only 0.5% to 0.6%. However, there are always some patients who have not been cured after multiple treatments, or the disease recurs after being cured, which makes the patients feel very distressed.

If you have cervical erosion, you should first ask yourself what type and degree you have. Mild cervical erosion has no obvious symptoms and can be treated with medication or even no treatment is needed. You just need to pay more attention to your health and it is best to have a check-up once a year. Moderate and severe cervical erosion need to be given enough attention. Although the harm is quite large, it is not difficult to treat. The key is to choose the method. You can go to the hospital to consult a doctor.

Causes of recurrence of cervical erosion

1. Incomplete treatment

Nowadays, cervical erosion is mostly treated with physical treatments such as laser, electric perm or microwave. In order to avoid damaging other tissues, the force used in the operation is generally light, and the treatment range is limited and relatively superficial. The diseased tissue at the erosion site cannot be completely destroyed, resulting in residual diseased tissue, which can cause recurrent attacks.

2. Severe lesions

The larger the area of ​​cervical erosion, the more likely the patient's condition will recur, and the higher the recurrence rate after treatment. Generally, mild to moderate cervical erosion has a high cure rate, and the condition can be well controlled; while women with severe cervical erosion have a low cure rate, but the recurrence rate increases accordingly. This shows the importance of early detection and treatment for the complete cure of the disease.

3. Improper abortion

During artificial abortion, the cervix is ​​damaged. If artificial abortions are repeated, the cervix will be damaged multiple times, which is also one of the reasons for the recurrence of cervical erosion.

4. Older age

The long-term failure of cervical erosion to heal is also related to the patient's age. Generally, women under 30 years old have a lower recurrence rate after treatment of cervical erosion, while women over 30 years old have a higher recurrence rate.

5. Frequent sex

After a period of treatment, the symptoms of patients with cervical erosion will improve. However, if they have sexual intercourse too frequently during this period, bacteria may enter the vagina, inducing infection again, aggravating damage to the cervical epithelium and causing recurrence of cervical erosion after treatment.

What to do if cervical erosion recurs

1. Check for other diseases

Nowadays, there are more and more STDs, such as gonorrhea, condyloma acuminatum, non-gonococcal infection, etc. These pathogens can invade the cervical epithelium and cause cervicitis. Moreover, cervical erosion and vaginitis are closely related. Long-term inflammation will lead to cervicitis and cervical erosion. If the vaginitis of patients with cervical erosion is not cured, it will always recur. Therefore, you should check whether you have the above-mentioned related diseases. If so, treat them as soon as possible.

2. Conduct standardized treatment

Some patients think they have cervical erosion and buy medicine directly at the pharmacy. This is wrong, at least it is not the right medicine for their condition. The same medicine has different effects on different symptoms and different patients, and there are more than one type of cervical erosion. To effectively and thoroughly treat it, you need to go to a regular hospital for standardized examinations and then standardized and systematic treatment to cure the disease.

3. Choose the best treatment technology

Physical therapy is recognized as the most effective method for treating cervical erosion, but there are many types of physical therapy, and each therapy has its own characteristics. Female patients should choose under the guidance of a doctor based on their own situation.
