Many people are very worried when they hear the four words cervical erosion, thinking that it is a very serious disease. In fact, cervical erosion is only cervical columnar epithelial ectopia. Women do not need to worry too much, but it is best to go to the hospital for examination. So, what tests should be done to suspect cervical erosion?
The name of cervical erosion has been abolished, which means that cervical erosion is not a disease, but a normal physiological phenomenon, which is the columnar epithelium of cervical ectopia. During gynecological examinations, the cervix can be seen. If there are changes in cervical erosion, cervical cancer tests such as human papillomavirus and cervical cytology can be performed before screening. Cervical secretions can also be analyzed and treated based on laboratory test results.
Cervical columnar epithelial ectopia is a normal physiological phenomenon without any specific clinical manifestations. Some people may show signs of contact bleeding, but due to individual differences in the cervix, just like some people may chew hard on something and have small amounts of blood coming from their teeth or mouth. If the vaginal discharge increases, turns yellow, and has a strange odor, it is a manifestation of cervicitis, and special attention should be paid at this time.
Cervical columnar epithelial ectopia does not require any treatment, and many methods for treating cervical erosion are currently incorrect. But for symptomatic cervicitis, treatment is needed. Acute inflammation can be treated with suppositories, while chronic inflammation can be treated with physical therapies such as laser or cryotherapy.
