Many women who have diagnosed «cervical erosion», do not hurry to be treated or, even worse, engaged in self-medication. And the one and the other option is potentially dangerous for health, and sometimes the life of a woman. What is this common and serious illness and what methods of its treatment are our site in the article.
What is erosion
According to the statistics of each second woman of childbearing age, at least once in his life diagnosed «cervical erosion». According to the medical dictionary, this term means a certain cervical mucous membrane defect. That would seem so simple. But, unfortunately, it just seemed. This defect spoils sleep and nerves to many women and requires immediate treatment. But first things first.
If you diagnosed congenital erosion (which is rare enough), you are very lucky. In this case, the gentle and waters of the tissue of the vagina due to hormonal disorders (most often in adolescents) «settled» On the cervix. This situation goes by itself after childbirth or another hormonal burst. But despite this, requires constant surveillance of a specialist.
There are still true erosion (when the rain appears on the epithelium), which is also found not often. Such a ring usually heals itself in a few weeks.
But the most common is false or pseudo-erosion. It appears in the same way as congenital, just does not heal itself. Gentle vaginal fabric, which is not gifted by protective functions, is amenable to the destructive influence of the aggressive environment and various infections. It may be very crying. In this case, definitely treatment is necessary.
Causes of occurrence
I was 19 years old when I heard the word for the first time «erosion». And not just heard - I was given such a diagnosis. I was shocked. I didn't have access to the Internet, and the doctors do not really bother with explanations. When I asked the Doctor to tell more about this diagnosis, heard a phrase that I still remember: «Nothing terrible, ordinary ulcer on cervical cervical. It will not be hurt, however, maybe there is a cancer». Wonderful explanation, not? I could not understand the reason for this disease for a long time, I never had anything sick. Only by having shifting the medical encyclopedia, approximately began to represent that the appearance of erosion can provoke.
According to medical research, no one can say for sure what caused this cervical tissue defect, but the list of causes of its occurrence is approximately.
First, erosion can be provoked by hormonal disorders. It is just happening in girls from 13 years. Hormonal formation, age-related changes in the body can cause erosion.
Therefore, dear moms, once every six months drive their smaller daughter to inspect the gynecologist. After all, for the nervous most important thing - permanent observation of the disease. And do not scold a non-clear child, since at that age, the disease occurs even from virgins. Support your daughter and explain in detail about her illness.
The second reason is the early start of sexual life. For the uncooked mucous membrane of the cervix, the hitting of any infection, even the most, it seemed harmless, can be destructive and in 99% of cases causes erosion. Increased infections especially against the background of reduced immunity, so it falls with a whole chain of disease.
The third reason is the inflammatory processes of the organs of the female sexual sphere. That is why treatment is usually beginning to treat inflammation.
Fourth Cause - Mechanical Damage. Most often meaning childbirth, abortions, and just injuries during sex. Due to the gaps or cracks of the cervix tissues and erosion occurs.
Symptoms of the erosion of the cervix
We are accustomed to the fact that the disease manifests itself pain. In fact, pain for many - the very impetus, after which we force ourselves to go to the doctor. Erosion is most often proceeding painless. It is difficult to diagnose symptoms, as they accompany many more diseases. Erosion is diagnosed with a gynecologist only when inspection. But still, I want to list our site symptoms of disease for readers. I hope their appearance alert women and will speed up a visit to the gynecologist.
So, any bloody issues, In particular, emerging after intercourse is the first sign of erosion. Such discharges are also signs of a breakdown of pregnancy or the prejudition state of the genitals, so hurry to the doctor. Despite the fact that most often women who find erosion feel absolutely healthy, they still appear periodically pulling pain at the bottom of the abdomen, pain during sexual intercourse, abundant whitish allocations. Menstrual cycle failures can be attributed to symptoms.
I want to once again focus on the need for a speedy visit to the gynecologist in case of manifestation of any of these symptoms. And do not be afraid, all that is diagnosed in the early stages is treated!
Treat or not treated
Once upon the forum read the message. In it, the girl told about how a miracle, not doing anything, got rid of erosion. According to her after she was diagnosed, she decided not to treat erosion and leave everything on Samotek. On the next inspection, erosion did not find out (I think it was about the congenital erosion). And all the visitors of the forum in one voice decided to inactivate and wait for miracles.
Cute girls and women, erosion - not a runny nose and itself does not pass! This is proven by many years of medical practices fact.
Moreover, incorrect treatment (including self-treatment «As a girlfriend told»), or the complete absence of treatment can sooner or later, I will cry out - erosion will turn into a malignant tumor or other, no less unpleasant diseases.
The only case after which erosion will disappear without treatment - childbirth (again in the case of congenital erosion). After childbirth, all the fabrics of the uterus and cervix are updated. And even here 100% of the guarantee of cure is not. For bombing girls, treatment is not recommended by surgical methods. For giving birth there are many surgical treatment methods. Each of them has its pros and cons, so choose to you and your attending doctor.
Treatment methods
Before you assign treatment, the doctor needs to be reliably studying with what he deals with. So you have to pass some tests. I was sent only to the biopsy, by the way, almost a painless procedure. It looks like an injection: exhale, second, and ready! After the results prescribed treatment. But, there may be additional tests: colposcopy (an intersection of erosion in magnifying devices), smears for the composition of the flora, blood tests on syphilis, HIV. The list of necessary will determine the doctor.
Before treating erosion, you need to eliminate the visible reason if there is a way based on the results of the tests. For example, heal inflammation arising against the background of sexually transmitted infections and directly themselves these infections. And after that, the doctor will select the best method for you directly on erosion.
The methods of impact on erosion are the following:
one. Diathermocoagulation
In common, migration of erosion by electric shock, resulting in a form burn, And after and the scar on the cervix. Its variety - diathermoconization, in which the fabric is not only migrated, but is completely removed from the erosion zone.
Back in the 18th century, Lekari used something like a soldering iron. To our times little has changed. Diathermocoagulation - the most common treatment method, in terms of the fact that the device for cavity is almost in any female consultation. Yes, and relatively cheap to carry out such a procedure. At this pluses of moxibustion electric shock end. The procedure is clearly not pleasant. Although they say that the cavity is not very painful, and the rumors about unbearable flour spread the constant women, do not believe. The process lasts up to 20 minutes and with each discharge current uterus Very shrinking. Reminds these are the strongest generic bodies, in the place of touch feels. Yes, and the smell that hovers in the air reminds the smell of burnt meat. After the procedure about a month, there are very abundant transparent, and sometimes bloody discharges, often a lower back, torments the weakness. That's how it all happens. But this is not all.
Over the first time, erosion may not disappear and the replay of procedure will be required. In addition, complications are possible: problems with having children, infertility, aggravation of inflammation, bleeding, hematomas. I think, few people want to experience diathermocoagulation. Especially now this method is gradually leaving, and abroad occasionally use only diathermoconization to treat cancer.
Full healing For 6-7 weeks.
Application in born: forbidden.
Price: about 500 rubles *.

2. Cryotherapy
The essence of this method is that the fabric of the area affected by erosion is destroyed under the action of a fluid nitrogen flow from special cryosonda. The site is selected extremely precisely and healthy fabrics are practically not damaged, the cervical scar is not formed. The procedure lasts about 10 minutes. She is painless, you only feel that inside something happens, a little belly pulls. No smell. I did cryotherapy in the medical center, and I even allowed to listen to music through headphones on mobile, so as not to worry. Time flew unnoticed. And when to stand allowed, the head turned, the doctor said that nitrogen so affects. True, two weeks all the same were quite abundant watery discharge, but no weakness and lumbar pain. This method is bloodless and very gentle. But it is not always applicable in cases of deep erosion. Yes, and in rare cases, repeated cryotherapy may need.
Full healing For 4-6 weeks.
Application in born: Maybe.
Price: about 1,500 rubles *.
3. Laser therapy
New modern method. It is considered effective and least dangerous. True, you can go through the laser therapy only in several modern clinics, since the surgical laser is quite expensive equipment. The essence of the procedure - the erosion plot is aimed in targeted exposure to the laser beam, the depth of degradation is fully controlled. The scars does not remain, but some doctors consider this method not suitable for applications.
I know a few cases when the girl is completely getting rid of erosion using laser therapy. But, I know the woman who has erosion only decreased.
So 100% of the cure guarantee no one gives. Try to choose an experienced doctor and proven clinics.
Full healing month.
Application in born: Maybe.
Price: about 2000 rubles *.
4. Radio wave surgery
The only contactless method. The impact takes place radio wave. It stimulates the inner energy of the cell, which in turn destroys and evaporates the cage. The method is fast and painless. The scar does not occur, however, suction discretions are possible.
Full healing month.
Application in born: Recommended.
Price: about 3,500 rubles *.
five. Chemical coagulation
It applies only with minor sizes of erosion (less than 2 ammunition coins). In essence, this processing erosion with special drugs (such as Solkovagin), which are lit. Cylindrical epithelium. Requires several (up to five) procedures. Does not guarantee full healing.
Full healing Individually.
Application in born: Recommended.
Price: from 900 rubles *.
I will not write on the pages our site about people's methods of treatment. Various sea buckthorn oils, bulls and douching can not only not improve fabric condition, but also aggravate erosion. And can make that erosion will delay from above, but will continue to develop deep into. Therefore, do not experiment on yourself - do not self-medicate!
All these moxibose methods are made only at the beginning of the menstrual cycle. Until full healing is prohibited by sexual activity, bathing, shared overheating. And if you do not want complications, it is necessary to strictly follow the recommendations of the doctor.
Health to you!
