What are the treatments for female cervical erosion? How long does it take for female cervical erosion to be cured?

What are the treatments for cervical erosion? Cervical erosion is actually a misunderstanding of a normal cervical manifestation in the past. Now it is replaced by the physiological phenomenon of "cervical columnar epithelium ectopia" in academia. How long will it take to cure cervical erosion? Let's learn about it today.

Does cervical erosion need treatment? How long will it take to be cured?

In the past, various treatments were used for different degrees of cervical erosion: 1. Drug therapy; 2. Physical therapy; 3. Traditional surgical treatment; 4. High-frequency LEEp; 5. BBT ablation. But these methods of treating cervical erosion are wrong. Cervical columnar epithelial ectopia does not require any treatment, but symptomatic cervicitis does require treatment. Acute inflammation is treated with suppositories, and chronic inflammation can be treated with physical therapy such as laser or freezing.

If you still don't know what cervical erosion is, then read on:

There are two different types of cells in the cervix, the ones near the vagina are squamous cells, and the ones near the uterus are columnar cells. The two types of epithelial cells are different in appearance. The central part, which looks a bit like "eroded" cervix, is the appearance after being covered by columnar epithelium, while the relatively smooth outer part of the cervix is ​​the part of the cervix covered by squamous epithelial cells.

Before puberty, women's ovarian function is not perfect, estrogen is low, and the columnar epithelium is closer to the inside. After menstruation, the columnar epithelium is affected by estrogen and develops more to the outside. Therefore, more columnar epithelium similar to "erosion" is found during cervical examination. After menopause, women's estrogen levels drop, and the columnar epithelium begins to retreat to the inside. At this time, the "erosion" is no longer visible during examination. Therefore, in essence, the so-called cervical erosion is actually the eversion of the columnar epithelium.

What are the symptoms of cervical erosion?

Cervical columnar epithelial ectopia is a normal physiological phenomenon, and there is no special clinical manifestation. Some people may have contact bleeding, but this is only the individual difference of the cervix. However, if it is accompanied by increased leucorrhea, yellowing, and odor, it is a manifestation of cervical inflammation, which is a symptom after the cervix is ​​infected. Cervical cysts and hypertrophy are also the result of chronic cervical inflammation.

Does cervical erosion affect fertility?

Understanding that cervical erosion is a physiological phenomenon means that it will not affect fertility.
