At this time, mothers are normally feeding their babies with supplementary milk, so people are still a little hesitant about the treatment of cervical erosion, worrying that it will affect breastfeeding. How to treat secondary cervical erosion during lactation?

What to do if you have cervical erosion during lactation

For mothers who have developed cervical erosion during breastfeeding, medication, physical therapy or surgical treatment can generally be used, depending on the specific condition of the breastfeeding mother.

1. Drug treatment: For mild cervical erosion, topical medications are mainly used, and oral medications are used in combination when necessary.

2. Physical therapy: Suitable for patients with moderate and severe cervical erosion. General physical therapy methods include laser therapy, cryotherapy and electric ironing, which have good effects, but are prone to recurrence and have side effects. They can reduce the sensitivity of the nerves in the inner wall of the patient's vagina and affect the quality of sexual life.

3. Surgical treatment: When drug treatment and physical therapy are ineffective, severe cervical erosion or cervical hypertrophy, deep and wide erosion and involvement of the cervical canal may occur, cervical conization or total hysterectomy may be considered. However, this surgical treatment is rarely used now.
