1. Treatment of cervical erosion

1. Drug treatment

It is suitable for patients with a 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 suppositories, placed on cotton balls, and applied to the eroded surface.

Generally, the medicine is applied twice a week. During the treatment, there will be more yellow vaginal discharge, but there should be no odor. The treatment usually starts after the menstruation is over, and the medicine is applied continuously for one month, and stopped during the menstruation period.

2. Physical therapy

Physical therapy 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.

Before physical therapy, the vulva, vagina, and cervix should be routinely disinfected. Since there is a large amount of fluid discharge after surgery, care should be taken to keep the vulva clean and dry to prevent infection. Sexual intercourse, bathing in a tub, and vaginal douching are prohibited before the wound is completely healed, which generally takes 4-8 weeks. After treatment, check once a month to check the healing of the wound.

3. Traditional surgical treatment

For patients with cervical hypertrophy, or deep and extensive erosion that involves the cervical canal, traditional surgical treatments such as cervical conization or total hysterectomy may be considered. However, surgical treatment is rarely used nowadays.

4. High-frequency LEEp

High-frequency LEEp surgery is not prone to the phenomenon of tissue elongation and carbonization during traditional electrosurgical cutting, and can obtain intact tissue specimens that do not affect pathological examination. It can be cured once and for all, will not recur, has little trauma, smooth incision, no scars, does not affect reproductive function and quality of life of couples, is painless, has few surgical complications (bleeding, infection), and has a short operation time, which can be completed in 5 minutes.

5. BBT ablation

BBT ablation for the treatment of cervical erosion is a very delicate operation. 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 fertility after the operation.
