What to do if cervical erosion and hypertrophy

Cervical erosion and hypertrophy can be improved through drug treatment, physical therapy, surgical treatment, traditional Chinese medicine conditioning, and daily care. Cervical erosion and hypertrophy are usually caused by chronic inflammatory stimulation, abnormal hormone levels, childbirth injury, pathogen infection, cervical intraepithelial migration and other reasons.

1. Drug treatment

Taking Anti-Cervicitis Tablets as directed by your doctor can relieve the increase in secretions caused by chronic cervicitis. This Chinese patent medicine contains Guangdong Purple Pearl, which can clear away heat and remove dampness. Baofukang suppository is suitable for cases complicated by HPV infection. Its zedoary oil component can promote local microcirculation. If bacterial vaginosis is detected, metronidazole vaginal effervescent tablets can be used to inhibit the reproduction of anaerobic bacteria. Sexual intercourse should be avoided during medication, and medication should be discontinued immediately if burning sensation occurs.

2. Physical therapy

Laser treatment is suitable for patients with deep erosion. The carbon dioxide laser vaporizes the diseased tissue, and light yellow secretions will be discharged after treatment. Cryotherapy uses liquid nitrogen to cause necrosis and shedding of diseased tissue at low temperatures. Bathing in the tub is prohibited within 2 weeks after surgery. Cervical precancerous lesions need to be ruled out before physical therapy, and wound healing needs to be reviewed regularly after treatment.

3. Surgical treatment

Cervical conization is suitable for hypertrophic patients with CIN grade 2 lesions. Part of the cervical tissue is removed through the LEEP knife. For severe patients who have completed childbearing, cervical ring electroresection can be considered, and cervical canal adhesions need to be prevented after surgery. The operation should be performed 3-7 days after menstruation is clear, and sexual life is prohibited for 2 months after the operation.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine Conditioning

For those with spleen deficiency and excess dampness, you can take the modified decoction, which contains atractylodes, yam and other herbs that strengthen the spleen and reduce dampness. For damp-heat injection type, Longdan Xiegan Decoction is suitable, combined with external cleansing prescriptions such as Sophora flavescens and Cortex Phellodendron. Acupuncture selects acupuncture points such as Guanyuan and the uterus, and uses flat tonic and flattening techniques, and the treatment is done three times a week.

5. Daily care

Wash your vulva with warm water every day and avoid using alkaline lotions that may disrupt the balance of the bacterial flora. Choose pure cotton breathable underwear and change it daily, and change sanitary napkins frequently during menstruation. Maintain a regular schedule and moderate exercise, and perform Kegel exercises three times a week to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. Eat more vegetables rich in vitamin C, such as broccoli, and limit spicy foods.

It is recommended to conduct TCT and HPV combined screening every 6-12 months, and use condoms during intercourse to reduce the risk of infection. If contact bleeding or purulent leucorrhea occurs, you need to seek medical attention promptly to avoid local moisture caused by long-term use of pads. During the treatment period, strictly follow the doctor's instructions for review and do not interrupt the treatment plan on your own. Breast-feeding patients need to inform the doctor to adjust the medication.
