How effective is microwave therapy for cervicitis?

The so-called cervicitis is actually cervical erosion. Because the patient does not have any discomfort symptoms in the early stage, when cervicitis is discovered, the condition is generally more serious. Cervicitis not only causes typical gynecological disease symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge and itching, but may also have a certain impact on fertility. Therefore, cervicitis must be treated early. The current treatment effect is relatively good. So how effective is microwave treatment for cervicitis?

First of all, we must realize that cervical erosion is caused by the outward migration of the cervical columnar epithelium. It looks like erosion-like changes to the naked eye, but it is just a state, not a disease. However, a cervical liquid-based cytology examination is required to rule out cervical lesions. If cervical malignancy or precancerous lesions are excluded and there is no contact bleeding, no treatment is required. If there is contact bleeding, or you are concerned about this issue and really need treatment, you can choose physical treatments such as microwave, freezing, and laser. Drugs are not very effective.

The principle of microwave treatment for chronic cervicitis is relatively complex and is still being studied at home and abroad. From the current research results at home and abroad, it can be seen that microwave treatment of diseases is mainly achieved through thermal effects and biological effects. Microwave is a common physical therapy and is chosen by many patients. However, some women only consider the quality of the treatment but not whether the treatment is comprehensive. Therefore, when choosing microwave treatment, it is also necessary to combine it with medication for consolidation and anti-inflammatory.

Generally, full recovery can be achieved 2 months after microwave treatment. It is also recommended to abstain from sexual intercourse and bathing for 2 months. During this period, yellow liquid may flow out. If there is no accompanying vaginal itching or odor, no treatment is required.

What needs to be noted in microwave treatment of chronic cervicitis is that microwave treatment of chronic cervicitis is mainly used for sexual lesions of the cervix, and should be used with caution in patients with cervical epithelial sarcoma-like changes or even very early cervical cancer. Therefore, before implementing microwave treatment for chronic cervicitis, patients with severe cervical erosion should undergo a cervical smear examination, or a colposcopy, and a biopsy if necessary, to rule out cervical cancer and other specific inflammations.

After knowing the effect of microwave treatment for cervicitis, if you really need treatment, it is recommended that you use microwave treatment. However, for women who have not yet given birth, it is recommended that you use drug treatment as the main method. Although drug treatment is not thorough, microwave treatment may affect your future pregnancy. Therefore, you only need to use drug treatment to control the disease and then undergo thorough treatment after giving birth.
