What methods can effectively treat cervical erosion? 5 methods are most effective in treating cervical erosion

What are the treatments for female cervical erosion? Cervical erosion is a factor that easily leads to infertility, so it needs timely treatment. The cost of treating cervical erosion varies depending on the treatment method. However, you should consult with your doctor whether to choose drug treatment or other treatment methods for cervical erosion.

Cervical erosion can easily lead to infertility

Women with cervical erosion may sometimes have obstacles to sperm ascending and cause infertility. Under normal circumstances, during ovulation, the cervical mucus is thin, which is conducive to sperm penetration. Sperm passes through the cervical mucus and enters the uterine cavity within 2-3 minutes. However, women with cervical erosion have infertility because the cervical mucus is thick, large in volume, and highly alkaline, which is not conducive to sperm penetration and survival.

But not all women with cervical erosion cannot conceive. To understand whether cervical erosion is a real infertility factor, you can do a post-coital test, that is, have sex during the ovulation period, go to the hospital two hours later, and ask the gynecologist to take out the mucus from the cervical canal, put it on a glass slide, and observe it under a high-power microscope. If 5-10 sperm moving forward can be seen in each field of view, the cervical infertility factor can be ruled out. If no live sperm can be found in repeated tests, the test should be performed again after the cervical erosion is treated.

So, what are the treatments for cervical erosion?

Treatment of cervical erosion

Drug treatment: Suitable for patients with small erosion area and shallow inflammatory infiltration. Antibiotics can be used for local application, such as metronidazole, sulfonamides, furazolidone, etc. Traditional Chinese medicine is widely used in the treatment of cervical erosion in clinical practice, and the effect is also good. Some prescriptions and formulas are often selected, processed into powder or suppository, placed on cotton balls, and applied to the eroded surface.

Physical therapy: It is a widely used treatment method with the advantages of short treatment course and good efficacy. It is suitable for patients with large erosion area and deep inflammatory infiltration. Commonly used methods include electric ironing, laser therapy, and cryotherapy.

Traditional surgical treatment: If the above treatments are ineffective, or if there is cervical hypertrophy, or the erosion is deep and wide, and involves the cervical canal, traditional surgical treatments such as total hysterectomy can be considered. However, surgical treatment is rarely used now.

High-frequency LEEp surgery: The tissue specimen is intact and is not prone to tissue elongation and carbonization as in traditional electrosurgical cutting. This allows for the acquisition of intact tissue specimens that do not affect pathological examination.

BBT ablation: BBT ablation is a very delicate surgery for treating cervical erosion. It not only does not damage the surrounding tissues, but also is painless during the treatment and leaves no scars after the surgery. It can also better avoid complications such as bleeding or infection, and has the advantage of not affecting fertility after the surgery.
