What should you pay attention to when treating cervical erosion? Avoid these common misunderstandings when treating cervical erosion

Will cervical erosion affect pregnancy? How can it be treated? Many women are prone to misunderstandings about the treatment of cervical erosion. Cervical erosion is not a disease exclusive to middle-aged women. Young unmarried women are also likely to suffer from it. How can we avoid the following common misunderstandings during the treatment process?

1. Can severe cervical erosion be treated after pregnancy?

From a doctor's perspective, it is not possible to simply say yes or no. We can only make suggestions from a medical perspective: if it is severe cervical erosion, it is best to do a TCT test before pregnancy, which helps to distinguish whether severe cervical erosion is a simple inflammation, or a precursor to cancer or some viral infection related to cervical cancer. If these reasons can be ruled out and it is only confirmed that it is a simple inflammation, you can get pregnant first and then get treatment.

2. Does laser treatment of cervical erosion affect fertility?

If cervical erosion is not treated actively, the chance of malignant tumors will increase in the future. Therefore, active treatment must be taken when cervical erosion is found. At present, the most commonly used method for treating cervical erosion is local treatment, such as laser therapy, microwave therapy, etc., although they have a high cure rate. However, these treatment methods will cause certain damage to the body. Even if the doctor is skilled in the operation and has appropriate control over the breadth and depth of the operation range, laser or microwave treatment will still have a certain impact on fertility.

3. Cervical erosion can lead to infertility

Cervical erosion is a manifestation of chronic cervicitis and a common disease among women. Mild and moderate cervical erosion does not affect fertility. If you want to have children, don't focus too much on "erosion" and don't blindly follow some misleading information and accept wrong treatment. You can conceive under the guidance of a doctor.

4. Women who have not given birth are not suitable for physical therapy

Many people have heard that scars on the neck after physical therapy will affect pregnancy, which makes many infertile women refuse physical therapy. So how should infertile women with cervical erosion be treated?

First of all, we need to look at the degree and nature of the erosion. Cervical erosion is divided into three degrees: mild, moderate, and severe according to the depth of the lesion. If it is mild and superficial erosion, even if the erosion surface is large, if the erosion depth is shallow and there is not much leucorrhea, it can be temporarily left untreated. If it is moderate or above papillary erosion, cancer prevention examinations and treatment must be done. As long as you pay attention to the treatment range not affecting the cervical canal during physical therapy, you don't have to worry too much. This depends on the doctor's correct diagnosis of the condition and his proficiency in the operation.

5. Can cervical erosion be treated by self-medication?

Many women find themselves suffering from cervical erosion after examination, so they choose to buy medicine to "help themselves", which is an unscientific concept of medication. Because the female cervix is ​​located deep in the human body, and the cervical canal mucosal folds are many, if the drug is not directly applied to the lesion, but other routes of administration (such as suppositories, effervescent tablets, etc.) are used, it will be difficult for the drug to reach the lesion.

Due to the increase in cervical secretions after cervical erosion, coupled with the infiltration of inflammatory substances, the secretions sometimes become very viscous. If the wound is not cleaned and the secretions are not removed with the help of professional medical staff, the drugs will not be fully absorbed due to the barrier of the secretions, thus affecting the therapeutic effect of the drugs.

6. Only women who have given birth will suffer from cervical erosion

Cervical erosion is the most common inflammation of the female reproductive organs, but it does not mean that women will suffer from cervical erosion only after giving birth. After women have sex, the vagina is relatively "open". If you do not pay attention to hygiene during sex, bacteria will have the opportunity to invade the vagina, which will increase the possibility of women suffering from inflammation of the reproductive organs. Mechanical stimulation or injury after marriage (such as childbirth, miscarriage or too frequent sex) can cause varying degrees of damage to the cervical tissue, opening the door for bacteria to invade, resulting in cervical inflammation and erosion in the future.

We know that increased vaginal discharge is sometimes caused by physiological changes, such as increased vaginal discharge during ovulation. If an unmarried woman has persistent increased vaginal discharge, or changes in color or texture, she should go to a regular hospital to find out the cause. If it is diagnosed as cervical erosion, it should be treated in time to avoid affecting fertility and normal life.
