The truth about the three major cervical erosions

Cervical erosion is a very common gynecological disease. It is said that one in three women will suffer from cervical erosion. However, many women do not know much about cervical erosion. Here we will clarify the three major misunderstandings about cervical erosion.

Inside a woman's body, the uterus is a precious little house. The part where the uterus connects to the vagina is called the cervix, which is like the door of this house. Don't underestimate this inconspicuous little door. About one out of every three women will have problems here. In mild cases, there will be abnormal vaginal discharge and unpleasant odor. In severe cases, life is in danger and the woman may die.

Sadly, most women know very little about cervical diseases, and they treat diseases that should not be treated, and choose the wrong treatments when they should be treated. Spending money and suffering is the least of the problems; delaying treatment would be a serious matter.

Truth 1: Should cervical erosion be treated?

Cervical erosion is one of the most common cervical diseases. When some people hear that they have cervical erosion, they often think that their cervix is ​​rotten. In fact, it is just a red color caused by cervicitis destroying the cervical epithelial cells. It is not true erosion, so consumers do not need to worry too much.

According to the expert director of the gynecological hospital, cervical erosion is divided into three grades: Grade I (mild) erosion surface does not exceed 1/3 of the cervical area; Grade II (moderate) erosion surface occupies the entire cervical area.

Grade III (severe) erosion occupies more than 2/3 of the entire cervical area.

If you have cervical erosion, you must first ask clearly what type and degree you have. The director of the gynecological hospital introduced that mild cervicitis has no obvious symptoms and can be treated with medication or even without treatment. You just need to pay more attention to hygiene. It is also best to have a check-up once a year.

Moderate to severe cervical erosion requires sufficient attention. This disease is quite harmful, but it is not difficult to treat. The key is to choose the right method. Physical therapy is usually used

It can be cured in one step, using methods such as laser, microwave, leep knife (high-frequency radio wave knife), etc. Compared with other treatments, Leep knife is safer, can be treated and left without hospitalization, is more economical and convenient, and the treatment period is shorter.

Truth 2: Cervical erosion will definitely lead to infertility

The cervix is ​​the only way for sperm to enter the uterus. Will cervical erosion definitely lead to infertility?

According to the famous infertility expert director of the New Sunshine Gynecological Hospital, the texture and secretion volume of cervical mucus are directly related to whether sperm can pass through the cervix and enter the uterine cavity. Suffering from moderate and severe

When cervical erosion occurs, the inflammatory secretions of the cervix will increase significantly, become viscous, and contain a large number of white blood cells. This may have an adverse effect on sperm motility, hinder sperm from entering the uterine cavity, and thus affect the pregnancy rate.

However, under normal circumstances, during ovulation, under the action of estrogen, the cervix will secrete normal egg white-like mucus. At this time, the cervical mucus has a higher water content and a thin texture, which can flush out inflammatory secretions and facilitate the passage of sperm. Therefore, suffering from uterine erosion will not lead to infertility, but the pregnancy rate will be lower. Doctors suggest that it is best to cure cervical erosion before conception.

Truth 3: Will cervical erosion cause cervical cancer?

Many popular science articles say that cervical erosion can cause cervical cancer, which is a very dangerous disease. In fact, cervical erosion itself will not cause cancer, but you should be careful if cervical erosion is accompanied by high-risk HPV infection. In China alone, 30,000 to 50,000 people die from cervical cancer every year, making it a major disease that poses a serious threat to women's health.

Cervical cancer is easy to prevent but difficult to cure. If cervical cancer screening can be performed once a year, the occurrence of cancer can be effectively blocked. This is the most effective and economical method. Currently I

The country's medical insurance system is not yet particularly complete. Only female employees in some enterprises and institutions can enjoy free gynecological examinations once a year. Many women are under the threat of cancer without knowing it.
