What are the symptoms of severe cervical erosion? What medicine is good for patients with severe cervical erosion?

Female cervical erosion now generally refers to cervical columnar epithelial ectopia, which is actually a normal physiological phenomenon of columnar epithelial eversion under the influence of estrogen. We all know that cervical erosion can be cured through treatment, but what are the symptoms of severe cervical erosion? What medicine is good? Let's learn about it today.

What causes severe cervical erosion?

There are many causes of cervical erosion, such as multiple sexual partners, high-intensity sexual life, sexual life during menstruation, lack of attention to hygiene, miscarriage, etc., which are the causes of cervical erosion that cannot be ignored.

What are the symptoms of severe cervical erosion?

Symptoms of severe cervical erosion include increased vaginal discharge, yellow color, sticky texture and odor. Inflammatory vaginal discharge can also cause itching if it irritates the vulva for a long time.

The color, state, and quality of leucorrhea may vary depending on the pathogen. Therefore, some patients with severe cervical erosion may have blood in their leucorrhea, and sometimes contact bleeding and irregular vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse, accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency.

In addition, because the cervical lymphatic vessels are directly connected to the paracervical connective tissue, and the erosion surface of severe cervical erosion is very wide and the infiltration is very deep, the inflammation can spread to the pelvic cavity through the lymphatic circulation, leading to pelvic connective tissue inflammation, which is the cause of pelvic inflammatory disease. At this time, symptoms of severe cervical erosion will also include lumbar and sacral pain, lower abdominal distension, and dysmenorrhea. Depending on the individual's physical condition, the degree of severe cervical erosion symptoms is also different, and they are usually aggravated during menstruation, defecation or sexual intercourse.

What medicine is good for severe cervical erosion?

Antibiotics can be used for local application. Some prescriptions and formulas are often used, processed into powder or suppositories, placed on cotton balls, and applied to the eroded surface. Generally, the medicine is applied twice a day. During the treatment, there is more yellow vaginal discharge, but there should be no odor. Treatment usually starts after the menstruation is over, and the medicine is applied continuously for one month, and it is discontinued during the menstrual period.

Many current methods of treating cervical erosion are wrong. However, symptomatic cervicitis needs to be treated. Acute inflammation can be treated with suppositories, while chronic inflammation can be treated with physical therapy such as laser or freezing.

What to do with severe cervical erosion?

1. Drug treatment: has few side effects and is more suitable for women who have not given birth.

2. Physical therapy: Suitable for patients with moderate and severe cervical erosion. Commonly used methods include electric ironing, laser therapy, and cryotherapy. The disadvantage is that the side effects are large, which may reduce the sensitivity of the nerves in the vaginal wall and affect the quality of sexual life. In addition, it is easy to relapse after treatment.

3. 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, cervical conization or total hysterectomy may be considered. However, surgical treatment is rarely used now.
