What are the misunderstandings about cervical erosion in women? Women should recognize the six major treatment misunderstandings of cervical erosion

Cervical erosion is a phenomenon of chronic cervicitis, which is manifested by bright red or pink spots around the cervix. Chronic cervicitis often occurs in married women, but it can also occur in unmarried women with no sexual history. In fact, cervical erosion is not difficult to treat. The key is that many women have misunderstandings about it and do not pay attention to it. So what are the misunderstandings of female friends?

Myth 1: Indiscriminate medication

Nowadays, there are many kinds of drugs for the local treatment of cervical erosion, but local drugs can only protect the surface of the erosion. The surface seems to heal in a short period of time, but because the basic lesion is not resolved, it will soon relapse.

As for vulvar and vaginal cleaning, it can only improve the symptoms of leucorrhea, but it can not play a fundamental role in the healing of erosion. At the same time, unnecessary vaginal cleaning or medication will destroy the normal defense mechanism of the vagina, and may cause infection.

For those who need treatment for cervical erosion, don't think that "applying medicine and cleaning" costs less than physical therapy and does not hurt the skin. Improper treatment can only prolong the course of the disease and worsen the condition, and you will end up spending more money.

Myth 2: Cervical erosion can cause infertility

Cervical erosion is a symptom of chronic cervicitis and a common disease among female friends. Mild and moderate cervical erosion will not affect fertility. If you want to have children, don't focus too much on "erosion". If it is a major cervical erosion, you should pay attention to it. Don't blindly follow some misleading information and accept improper treatment. You can get pregnant under the guidance of a doctor.

Myth 3: Only middle-aged women who have given birth will suffer from cervical erosion, and it has nothing to do with me

Cervical erosion is a common inflammation of the female reproductive organs, but it does not mean that women will suffer from cervical erosion after giving birth. After women have sex, their vagina is relatively in an "open" state.

If you don't pay attention to hygiene during sex, bacteria will have a chance to invade the vagina, which will increase the possibility of inflammation of the reproductive organs in women, causing cervicitis and erosion. Cervical erosion is not a "patent" for married middle-aged women. Early prevention, early inspection, and early treatment can keep you healthy!

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

Myth 4: Although I have cervical erosion, I don’t feel any discomfort and it doesn’t matter whether I treat it or not.

Mild cervical erosion does not cause any discomfort, but in moderate and severe cervical erosion, the cervical secretions will increase significantly, become sticky, and contain a large number of white blood cells, which will affect the activity of sperm and directly prevent sperm from entering the uterine cavity, thereby affecting normal conception and causing female infertility. If not treated in time, the inflammation of the cervix will not heal for a long time, which will cause inflammation and complications of other organs, such as: endocervicitis, adnexitis, infection and adhesion of the fallopian tubes, which will lead to female infertility.

Under the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, it can also cause more serious symptoms such as polyps, lacerations, ectropion and cysts; some cervical erosions can even become cancerous. According to statistics, the incidence of cervical cancer in women with cervical erosion is 10 times higher than that of those without cervical erosion.

Myth 5: The treatment of cervical erosion is very simple and you don’t need to take it too seriously.

The treatment of cervical erosion is indeed not very difficult, but it is simple only relative to the operation process. For patients, if they do not cooperate well and the treatment is random, the disease is difficult to cure. Even if it is cured, it will easily be infected again and cause inflammation. Danfeng Chaoyang Gynecology explains that as long as the right method is chosen for the treatment of cervical erosion and active cooperation is given, it can be cured quickly.

Myth 6: 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, causing many childless women to flatly refuse physical therapy.

So how should women with cervical erosion who have not yet given birth 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 is shallow and there is not much leucorrhea, it can be temporarily left untreated.

If the papillary erosion is moderate or above, cancer prevention detection and treatment must be done. During physical therapy, you only need to pay attention to not involving the cervical canal in the treatment range, and you don't need to worry too much. This depends on the doctor's clear diagnosis of the disease and his proficiency in the operation.
