A few things to keep in mind before laser treatment of cervical erosion

When using laser to treat cervical erosion, some things need to be prepared in advance, which will have a significant impact on the effect of laser treatment of cervical erosion. What are the common preparations before laser treatment of cervical erosion ? The following is a brief introduction to the common preparations before laser treatment of cervical erosion.

Generally, the common preparations before laser treatment of cervical erosion include:

1. Patients with pelvic inflammatory disease (acute or chronic pelvic inflammatory disease), vaginal trichomoniasis, Candida infection, etc. must be treated first, and then laser surgery can be performed to treat cervical erosion after recovery.

2. Laser surgery should be performed within 2 to 6 days after the patient's menstrual period, and the urine retained in the bladder should be emptied before treating cervical erosion.

3. The patient takes the lithotomy position, routinely disinfects the vulva and cleanses the vagina, spreads a sterile drape, and places a vaginal speculum (puts a sterile condom on the vaginal speculum, cuts the condom where the sperm is stored, exposes the front end, and does not allow the vaginal wall to expand into the vagina through the vaginal dilator, making it easier to perform laser surgery to treat cervical erosion). After exposing the cervix, fully remove the mucus on the cervix.

4. Equipment preparation: Turn on the machine and circulate water to exhaust the gas in the CO2 laser tube. Nd:YAG water circulation starts the power switch inside the machine. The fiber head is exposed 3mm. If the length is not enough, use a razor blade to shave off the outer protective layer and then use a gem knife to flatten the end face. CO2 laser output is 10~15W; Nd:YAG laser output is 10~20W. This is one of the common preparations before laser treatment of cervical erosion.

5. According to experts, the surgeons consulted relevant materials and investigated the laser treatment of cervical erosion in patients with erosion found in collective gynecological examinations in factories and mines. They believed that the cervical mucus should be thoroughly cleaned when scraping, and then one glass slide should be used to scrape the front and back lips of the cervix, and then another glass slide should be used to push each other into four pieces. When scraping, the glass slide should be mainly scraped at the junction of the squamous columnar epithelium of the cervical ostium. If it is not ideal, more scraping outside the cervical ostium and biopsy can be performed. The positive rate of smear pathology examination after wiping the cervix with a cotton swab is low. Cervical smear pathology examination is used to guide the method of laser treatment of cervical erosion.

The above is an introduction to the preparations before common laser treatment of cervical erosion. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Once you suffer from cervical erosion, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease.
