New mothers have to wait for the body to recover after childbirth while breastfeeding. The treatment of cervical erosion has become a more difficult problem.

Does postpartum cervical erosion need treatment?

Cervical erosion is a very common gynecological disease among women. Some women develop acquired cervical erosion due to cervical trauma and other diseases, and many more women suffer from cervical erosion after giving birth, which is called postpartum cervical erosion.

Generally, if you suffer from cervical erosion during the postpartum breastfeeding period, it is not recommended for patients to take medication, because some drug ingredients are easily absorbed by the baby through breast milk, which will have an adverse effect on the child's development. For mothers who suffer from cervical erosion during breastfeeding, it is recommended that corresponding treatment measures be taken according to the degree of cervical erosion. There are three degrees of cervical erosion: first degree, second degree and third degree, which are what we usually call mild, moderate and severe.

If you have mild cervical erosion during breastfeeding, you can temporarily not seek treatment. After the breastfeeding period, you can go to the hospital for a detailed examination and further treatment. For moderate to severe cervical erosion during breastfeeding, it is best to use physical therapy. Since cervical erosion of more than two degrees may become malignant, it is recommended that you arrange time to go to the hospital for examination in time and receive treatment under the guidance of hospital experts.

How to treat postpartum cervical erosion

1. Drug treatment: It is suitable for patients with small erosion area and shallow inflammatory infiltration. This is a commonly used treatment method for postpartum cervical erosion. However, during the lactation period, it is best for patients not to take medication to avoid adverse effects on the child.

2. Surgical treatment: If the above treatments for postpartum cervical erosion are ineffective, or the erosion is deep and wide, and involves the cervical canal, cervical conization or total hysterectomy can be considered. However, surgical treatments for postpartum cervical erosion are rarely used now.

3. Physical therapy: Postpartum cervical erosion treatment 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 treatment methods for postpartum cervical erosion include electric ironing, laser therapy, and cryotherapy.

What are the precautions for the treatment of postpartum cervical erosion

1. Treatment of postpartum cervical erosion: For mild cervical erosion, topical medications are mainly used, and oral medications are used in combination when necessary.

2. Physical therapy for moderate and severe postpartum cervical erosion is prone to recurrence and has side effects. It will reduce the sensitivity of the nerves in the vaginal wall of the patient and affect the quality of sexual life. After physical therapy, if there is a small amount of bleeding, it is normal. If the bleeding increases, exceeds the menstrual volume or the bleeding time is too long, you should go to the hospital in time to stop the bleeding as soon as possible; after the electric ironing surgery, the patient should pay attention to observe the first menstruation, whether there is menstrual difficulty or dysmenorrhea, to prevent cervical adhesion.

3. Regardless of the type of treatment, the vulva should be kept clean after treatment. Bathing, swimming, vaginal douching or sexual intercourse are prohibited before the wound is completely healed. Regular follow-up examinations should be conducted after treatment. If there is any smelly secretion, medical treatment should be sought in a timely manner.

Warm reminder: The breastfeeding period of postpartum women plays an important role in the health care of the baby. If cervical erosion occurs after delivery, new mothers must receive timely treatment. However, due to the postpartum breastfeeding period, it will be more difficult for patients to use medication and treat cervical erosion. Therefore, it is very important to choose a regular hospital for treatment, and it is best to come to the hospital for an examination as soon as possible to avoid delaying treatment.
