One of the most common diseases that doctors note in the beautiful half is cervical erosion. In gynecology, several types of disease are distinguished. The first, less common, is congenital erosion of the cervix. The congenital form of the disease is not treated, because it does not develop into a malignant one. The second type of disease is more common - true erosion. A similar pathology may be present from birth, therefore it is called congenital. Typically, such a disease occurs without any specific symptoms, so it is often seen in adolescence during preventive examinations. Sometimes a third type stands out - pseudo-erosion, as a consequence of true erosion.
Cervical erosion, the causes of which lie in the influence of other factors, is called true. Factors contributing to the development of the disease include vaginal dysbiosis, inflammation, hormonal disorders, previous sexually transmitted diseases, and abortion. If we talk about cervical erosion , the causes of which are not congenital, then we should rightly note the earlier onset of adolescent sexual activity. As a rule, in these girls, erosion appears after the first sexual intercourse, which teenagers themselves are not aware of.
What does cervical erosion look like ? Externally - this is a site of intensely red color with smooth or uneven edges, which is located on the cervix. Since inherently erosion is a damaged epithelium, such places are very difficult to heal due to the constant adverse effects from the outside. Erosion is difficult to cure, often after occurrence, the place bleeds, purulent discharge accumulates on its surface.
In order to treat cervical erosion, the causes of the disease must be determined, first of all, otherwise it may recur after some time. If there are infectious diseases, then it is best to start with their treatment, and also make a biopsy - the treatment method depends on the results of the biopsy, because the disease can develop into a cancerous disease or lead to infertility.
In this regard, today doctors resort to radical methods of treatment. Most often in ordinary clinics, electrocoagulation is used - cauterization of electric currents. At the site of cauterization, a new healthy cover forms, which displaces the "wrong" epithelium. Unfortunately, this method has a large percentage of relapses. After cauterization, women feel pain in the lower abdomen. The erosion site is essentially an open wound on which a wound crust (scab) is formed. After about a few weeks, when a healthy epithelium grows, the scab is rejected. During this time, bleeding and unpleasant discharge are possible - this period must be waited until the crust leaves. Another method is freezing. Using this method, the affected area is frozen to a healthy layer and the normal cervical canal cover is restored.
More modern methods are the treatment of the disease using the radio wave method. As a rule, treatment is carried out in special medical centers, since not every clinic can have equipment. A similar method is more gentle, painless, but also more expensive.
After treatment for cervical erosion, the causes of occurrence should be controlled especially. In addition, the area of influence must be completely restored, which can be done using a course of candles. Only a fully cured cervix can indicate the absence of problems in the female genital area.
