How to treat cervical erosion

Not paying attention to personal hygiene and living habits often leads to infection with pathogenic bacteria, and some women will experience cervical erosion. Once a woman who has not given birth has sexual intercourse, she may also experience cervical erosion. For this group of people, what kind of treatment should be taken?

1. The degree of cervical erosion needs to be clarified

When the erosion area accounts for 1/3 of the total area of ​​the cervix, it is mild cervical erosion; when the erosion area accounts for 1/3 to 2/3 of the total area of ​​the cervix, it is called moderate cervical erosion, and the patient will experience symptoms such as increased and sticky vaginal discharge; when the erosion area exceeds 2/3 of the total area of ​​the cervix, it is called severe cervical erosion. Due to the different degrees of cervical erosion, the treatment methods used are also different.

2. Choice of treatment method

Patients with mild cervical erosion are mostly asymptomatic and generally do not require special treatment, or can be treated with medication.

Physical therapy is often used for moderate and severe cervical erosion with a large erosion area and deep inflammatory infiltration. However, it is best to use drug treatment for unmarried and childless women. This is because physical therapy may cause related side effects. For example, if the treatment is too deep, it may cause local cervical tissue contracture, scar formation, insensitivity during sexual intercourse, reduced cervical secretions, and even low libido; if the treatment is too deep, the cervical secretory glands may be blocked, the cervical mucus may change, and then female infertility may occur; or it may cause cervical dilation disorders during childbirth, making childbirth difficult. At the same time, women who pay attention to the quality of life of their spouses should not use physical therapy.
