What is the difference between cervicitis and cervical erosion

Cervicitis and cervical erosion are two different cervical diseases, and the treatment methods should be selected according to the specific causes and symptoms. Cervicitis is usually caused by infection, while cervical erosion is often related to hormonal changes. Cervicitis requires anti-infection treatment, and cervical erosion usually does not require special treatment when it is asymptomatic. Physical therapy or drug treatment can be performed when symptoms occur. The treatment of cervicitis includes antibiotics, antiviral drugs, and local anti-inflammatory drugs, and the treatment of cervical erosion can use physical therapies such as laser, freezing or electrocoagulation, as well as hormone drugs.

1. Cervicitis is an inflammation of the cervix caused by bacterial, viral or fungal infection. Common symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, odor, and pain during sexual intercourse. There are various routes of infection, such as sexual transmission and poor hygiene. Treatment requires the selection of antibiotics, antiviral drugs or antifungal drugs according to the type of pathogen. At the same time, pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid unclean sexual behavior.

2. Cervical erosion is a physiological phenomenon of cervical epithelial cell eversion, which is common in women of childbearing age and is often related to changes in hormone levels. Usually there are no obvious symptoms, and some patients may experience increased vaginal discharge or bleeding after sexual intercourse. No treatment is required when there are no symptoms. When there are symptoms, physical therapy such as laser, freezing or electrocoagulation can be selected, or hormone drugs can be used to regulate hormone levels.

3. The causes of cervicitis and cervical erosion are different. Cervicitis is mostly caused by infection, while cervical erosion is related to hormonal changes. Cervicitis requires anti-infection treatment, while cervical erosion usually does not require treatment when asymptomatic. Physical therapy or drug treatment can be performed when symptoms occur. Treatment of cervicitis includes antibiotics, antiviral drugs and local anti-inflammatory drugs, while treatment of cervical erosion can use physical therapy such as laser, freezing or electrocoagulation, as well as hormone drugs.

Although cervicitis and cervical erosion have similar symptoms, their causes and treatments are different. Cervicitis requires anti-infection treatment, while cervical erosion usually does not require treatment when it is asymptomatic. Physical therapy or drug treatment can be performed when symptoms occur. It is recommended that patients choose appropriate treatment methods based on specific symptoms and doctor's advice, and have regular gynecological examinations to detect and treat cervical diseases in a timely manner.
