What are the treatments for cervical erosion?

Cervical erosion has certain hazards, such as causing cervical polyps, cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, and moderate and severe cervical erosion can even lead to infertility. Therefore, once you suspect that there is a problem with the cervix, you should go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time. At present, the main clinical treatment methods include:

1. Drug treatment

For patients with smaller erosions and shallower inflammatory infiltration, medication can be used for treatment, such as topical application of 10% to 20% nitrates; topical application of potassium permanganate after menstruation, etc. It should be noted that when using the above medications, be careful to avoid burning the vaginal wall, and pay attention to disinfection during medication to prevent repeated infection.

2. Physical therapy

It is mainly used to treat patients with larger erosion surface and deeper inflammatory infiltration, including electric ironing, cryotherapy, laser therapy, etc. Among them, electric ironing refers to using a special electric iron to burn the erosion surface tissue, causing it to necrotize and fall off, and it needs to reach a certain depth; cryotherapy is to use a special rapid freezing device to freeze, necrotize, and fall off the cervical erosion surface diseased tissue; laser therapy refers to using a special laser treatment head to irradiate the cervical erosion tissue, causing the erosion tissue to carbonize, inflame, and fall off.

3. Surgical treatment

It is mainly used for patients who are ineffective with medication and physical therapy, those with deep or large cervical erosion, cervical hypertrophy or suspected cancer. Surgical methods include cervical cone resection or total hysterectomy, etc.
