How to treat severe cervical erosion in women? Is severe cervical erosion in women serious?

How to treat severe cervical erosion? Cervical erosion is actually a misunderstanding of the normal manifestation of the cervix in the past. Nowadays, it is replaced by the physiological phenomenon of "cervical columnar epithelium ectopia" in academia. However, the so-called severe cervical erosion cannot be treated blindly, so what should we do? Let's learn about it today.

What are the treatments for severe cervical erosion? How to treat it?

In the past, various treatment methods were used for different degrees of cervical erosion: 1. Drug therapy; 2. Physical therapy; 3. Traditional surgical treatment; 4. High-frequency LEEp; 5. BBT ablation. However, these methods of treating cervical erosion are all wrong. Cervical columnar epithelial ectopia does not require any treatment. However, symptomatic cervicitis does require treatment. Acute inflammation is treated with suppositories, and chronic inflammation can be treated with physical therapy methods such as laser or freezing.

Is severe cervical erosion serious?

The so-called first-degree, second-degree, and third-degree cervical erosion in medical textbooks in the past are easy to understand if you read the real mechanism of "cervical erosion" mentioned below. This is actually the different degrees of eversion of the columnar epithelium after being affected by estrogen, which is a normal physiological phenomenon.

What is the “true face” of cervical erosion?

There are two different types of cells in the cervix, the ones near the vagina are squamous cells, and the ones near the uterus are columnar cells. The two types of epithelial cells are different in appearance. The central part, which looks a bit like "eroded" cervix, is the appearance after being covered by columnar epithelium, while the relatively smooth outer part of the cervix is ​​the part of the cervix covered by squamous epithelial cells.

Before puberty, women's ovarian function is not perfect, estrogen is low, and the columnar epithelium is closer to the inside. After menstruation, the columnar epithelium is affected by estrogen and develops more to the outside. Therefore, more columnar epithelium similar to "erosion" is found during cervical examination. After menopause, women's estrogen levels drop, and the columnar epithelium begins to retreat to the inside. At this time, the "erosion" is no longer visible during examination. Therefore, in essence, the so-called cervical erosion is actually the eversion of the columnar epithelium.
