How to treat uterine erosion

Uterine erosion can be intervened through drug treatment, physical therapy and surgical treatment. Uterine erosion may be caused by chronic cervicitis, abnormal hormone levels, mechanical injury, pathogen infection, cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions and other factors.

1. Drug treatment

For uterine erosion caused by chronic cervicitis, Baofukang suppository, Xiaomi suppository or anti-uterine inflammation tablets can be used as directed by the doctor. These drugs have anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. When combined with bacterial infection, cefixime dispersible tablets or azithromycin tablets may need to be used in combination. A history of drug allergy must be ruled out before use. People with abnormal estrogen levels need to take the results of hormone tests and adjust medications such as oral estradiol valerate tablets.

2. Physical therapy

Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to freeze and thaw the diseased tissue to necrosis and fall off. It is suitable for patients with large but superficial erosion areas. Laser or microwave treatment can accurately vaporize the eroded surface, and light yellow discharge may be discharged after the operation. Infrared coagulation therapy promotes epithelial regeneration through thermal effects, and the treatment depth is generally controlled within 3 mm. Bathing and sexual intercourse are prohibited within 2 months after physical therapy.

3. Surgical treatment

Cervical conization is suitable for patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, and the removed tissue needs to be sent for pathological examination. Lip knife surgery uses high-frequency radio waves to remove lesions. The wound heals quickly but may affect the elasticity of the cervix. For those who have no need for childbearing and have recurrent bleeding, cervical loop electroresection may be considered, and cervical canal adhesions need to be prevented after surgery.

4. Daily care

During treatment, choose pure cotton breathable underwear and change it daily, and avoid using alkaline lotions to clean the perineum. Change sanitary napkins frequently during menstruation to reduce friction and irritation, and apply appropriate heat to the lower abdomen to relieve discomfort. Maintaining a regular schedule can help regulate endocrine levels. It is recommended to perform aerobic exercise three times a week.

5. Regular follow-up visits

HPV and TCT need to be reviewed in the 3rd month after physical therapy to evaluate the wound healing. After the symptoms are relieved by drug treatment, it is still recommended to have a gynecological examination every six months. Cervical cytology should be tested every 3 months for surgical patients for 1 year after surgery. If abnormal bleeding or increased secretions are found, timely follow-up is required.

Avoid using private care products containing irritating ingredients on a daily basis, and do a good job of cleaning and protecting yourself during sex. Pay attention to supplementing high-quality protein and vitamin A in your diet, and eat broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables in moderation. Regular annual gynecological examinations can detect cervical lesions early, and HPV screening is recommended for those over 30 years old. During the treatment period, strictly follow the doctor's instructions when taking medication, and it is prohibited to use vaginal douching equipment by yourself.
