Cervical erosion is a common condition of the female cervix, not an independent disease, but a manifestation of chronic cervicitis. According to the manifestations of erosion, it can be divided into simple erosion, granular erosion, and papillary erosion.
What are the symptoms of each?
1. Simple erosion
Commonly seen in the early stages of inflammation, the columnar epithelium on the surface of the cervix grows slowly, and the erosive surface is covered by a relatively normal monolayer of columnar epithelium. The epidermis is relatively flat and smooth, with visible redness.
2. Granular erosion
Inflammation persists with granular cervical erosion. At this point, the cervical epithelium grows rapidly and grows towards the stroma, resulting in excessive proliferation and expansion of the cervical epithelium. The erosive surface can be seen as uneven and has a fine-grained surface to the naked eye, hence it is called granular cervical erosion.
3. Papillary erosion
If the interstitial hyperplasia of glandular epithelium is obvious, the unevenness phenomenon is more obvious, and papillary cervical erosion is called papillary cervical erosion. Interstitial hyperplasia can form many deep gaps. Under colposcopy, irregular protrusions and depressions can be seen, as well as some depressions arranged in a gyrus like manner.
Cervical erosion?
1. Drug treatment: This is mainly aimed at patients who are not pregnant and have mild to moderate symptoms, with a relatively long duration. Drug treatment can be divided into traditional Chinese medicine treatment and Western medicine treatment, with minimal side effects and suitable for women who have not given birth. Antibiotics can be used locally to treat cervical erosion with traditional Chinese medicine, which is widely used in clinical practice and has good therapeutic effects.
2. Physical therapy: Suitable for patients with moderate and severe cervical erosion. The commonly used methods include ironing, laser therapy, and cryotherapy. The disadvantage is that the side effects are large, the sensitivity of the vaginal inner wall nerves decreases, and it also has an impact on the quality of sexual life.
3. Surgical treatment: If the appeal method is ineffective, it is recommended to use the surgical method, and the specific information can be consulted with the relevant hospital.
What methods can prevent cervical erosion?
1. Regular gynecological examinations are necessary to prevent cervical erosion, detect and treat cervical inflammation in a timely manner.
2. Paying attention to sexual hygiene, appropriately controlling sexual activity, resolutely eliminating extramarital sexual behavior, and avoiding menstrual intercourse are common methods for preventing cervical erosion.
3. Preventing machine damage to the cervix during childbirth is also one of the prevention and treatment methods for cervical erosion.
4. Discovering cervical lacerations after childbirth should be sutured in a timely manner, which is a common method to prevent cervical erosion.
5. Preventing cervical erosion includes timely and effective contraceptive measures, reducing the incidence of induced abortion and abortion, and reducing the chances of human trauma and bacterial infection.
