Is a general name for a group of therapeutic techniques, the purpose of which is to influence pseudo-erosion and eliminate it completely. Due to the fact that the disease is widespread and up to a third of all women in the world face it, the methods of moxibustion are constantly being improved and expanded. It is the destructive methods of influencing erosion that are most effective in terms of its treatment.

Most women use the term "moxibustion", meaning direct heating and formation of a burn on the epithelium. However, this use of the word is not entirely correct. For example, if a damaged area is exposed to nitrogen, then this is nothing more than freezing, and if the erosion is eliminated with the help of a laser, then its cells are simply evaporated. Nevertheless, all these techniques in everyday life are referred to as moxibustion.

In addition, only pseudo-erosion is cauterized - but not true and not congenital. Pseudo-erosion is formed as a result of a violation of the healing processes of true erosion, when a certain part of the stratified squamous epithelium is replaced by a cylindrical one that "emerged" from the cervical canal. As a result, a site is formed that differs both in structure and in appearance. It is this ectopic zone that must be destroyed.

Methods of cauterization of cervical erosion

Modern clinical gynecology has a set of techniques for the physical elimination of the pathological process.

Among them are:

    Diathermocoagulation- method of treatment with electric current. One of the outdated and most traumatic ways to get rid of erosion.

    Cryodestruction is a method of getting rid of erosion using nitrogen. This is a more gentle way to remove erosion by freezing pathological cells and their subsequent destruction.

    Laser vaporization- a method of getting rid of pathology using a laser. A fairly painless and effective way to remove erosion, while having a high efficiency.

    Radio wave coagulation- method of cauterization of erosion using radio waves. One of the most promising and progressive methods of healing damaged areas.

    Argon plasma ablation method- elimination of erosion using argon. It is carried out using special devices in which argon is ionized by high-frequency currents and a plasma beam precisely affects the eroded area.

    Electroconization, is used for the treatment of severe degrees, allows you to get rid of atypical cells even deep epithelial layers.

    Ultrasound. Getting rid of the patient from erosion using ultrasound.

    Chemical or drug moxibustion. Most often, for this purpose, the drug Solkovagin is used, which causes tissues, the formation of a scab, followed by its replacement with a layer of new epithelium.

The choice of this or that method of treatment will depend on the condition of the woman, her age, the presence of concomitant diseases, etc.

Cauterization of cervical erosion with a laser


In order for the treatment of the damaged area with a laser to give a positive effect, a thorough preliminary examination is necessary. Indeed, in one case, low-intensity impact will be effective, in the other, on the contrary, high-intensity, and in the third - carbon dioxide. In this regard, the area of ​​the affected area and the duration of the existence of erosion are significant. The older and larger the pathology is, the more intense the impact will be. In addition, a woman should not suffer from an infectious disease of the genital area. If there is one, preliminary therapy is needed.

In medicine, the concept of cauterization of the cervix with a laser does not exist, doctors call this procedure "laser vaporization". It is carried out in an outpatient clinic, does not require anesthesia, even local. The essence of the procedure is as follows: the doctor outlines the boundaries to be processed (for this, a laser is used, it acts like a pencil), then systematic evaporation begins. Evaporation of atypical cells begins from the cervical canal, and ends at a previously drawn border (for the purpose of insurance, a healthy zone is captured within 2 mm). The whole procedure takes no more than 7 minutes.

Advantages. The advantage of this treatment is that there is no risk of bleeding: the vessels are immediately coagulated.

Nuances. A woman should know that large-sized erosion cannot be cured at once, it may take up to 2 - 3 procedures, the interval between which should be at least a month.

After moxibustion. After the laser treatment is carried out, the woman may experience slight discharge for some time. They can be observed for no more than 3 weeks. Complete restoration of the mucous membrane of the cervix occurs in 1.5 months. This method is suitable even for nulliparous women. Among the main contraindications: the period after childbirth, pregnancy, inflammation of the vagina, uterus or appendages, as well as malignant neoplasms.

Radio wave treatment for cervical erosion

Doctors dealing with the problem of eliminating the erosive process claim that this particular therapy is the most effective and safe in comparison with other methods. This procedure is non-contact, low-traumatic and painless, does not cause, and possible complications are minimized. However, due to the fact that the method is quite new, it has not become widespread.

Before performing the procedure, it is imperative to conduct a histological examination, pass a smear on the microflora, in order to identify sexually transmitted diseases.

Radio wave therapy is carried out in the first half of the menstrual cycle (the optimal period is from 5 to 10 days, after the onset of menstruation). This is due to the fact that the risks of complications are minimized, and the tissues themselves recover faster.

The essence of the procedure lies in the fact that radio waves increase the temperature of the treated tissues by means of heat exposure to the liquid inside the cells. It heats up and evaporates, and the vessels around it coagulate. Direct action is carried out using an electrode, which emits waves. The device itself is not in contact with the surface of the cervix. Most often, the Surgitron apparatus is used to perform the procedure. Thanks to such a gentle action, after processing, a scab does not form, but a thin film forms.

Anesthesia, as a rule, is not used, since the sensations experienced by a woman are comparable to mild pulling pains during menstruation. But if the threshold of her sensitivity to pain is too high, then it is advisable to apply local anesthesia. In parallel, existing adhesions or other defects on the cervix and cervical canal can be eliminated.

The recovery process most often does not exceed one month. A woman may be disturbed by insignificant discharge, which completely disappears after 10 days.

For a complete cure, one session is enough. Radio wave coagulation is suitable for all women, including those who are planning a pregnancy in the near future. This can be done already a month later, after a scheduled visit to the gynecologist.

From the recommendations after the procedure: refusal of intimate life for 4 weeks, restriction of physical activity, a ban on swimming in open reservoirs, pools and saunas. The only drawback of this progressive and safe method of erosion removal is the high cost of the procedure, as well as the lack of apparatus and specialists in municipal clinics.

Cauterization of cervical erosion with electric current


The most outdated method of eliminating erosion is by burning it with a current. In medicine, this method of therapeutic action is called "diathermocoagulation". Of the indisputable advantages, one can single out its widespread availability and high efficiency. That is why it has not yet been completely abandoned.

Before carrying out treatment with current, it is necessary to sanitize the vagina and eliminate any infectious and inflammatory process.

The essence of the method is that the electrode, emitting current discharges, touches the affected surface pointwise until all the erosion is covered with a scab. As a result, a wound is formed at this place, which bleeds, but at the same time it is covered with a crust on top. Two months later, she becomes epithelialized. The scab itself leaves in about 10-12 days. Since there is no instantaneous coagulation of blood vessels during the procedure, a woman has spotting bleeding during the recovery period.

In addition, a serious disadvantage of this method is the formation of a rough scar of connective tissue. This can further negatively affect the course of childbirth. That is why this method of moxibustion is not recommended for nulliparous girls.

Cauterization of cervical erosion with nitrogen

This method is based on cold treatment. Transformed liquid nitrogen is applied to damaged tissues by means of a cryoprobe. The procedure is one-time, most often it does not take more than 5 minutes. Abnormal cells crystallize and then die off. After an average of 2-3 months, they are replaced by healthy ones. The optimal time for the procedure is from 7 to 10 days of the menstrual cycle.

Contraindications include a large erosion surface - more than 3 cm, cervical injuries, fibroids, any infectious and inflammatory processes in the genitals, as well as pregnancy and tumors.

The procedure is painless, but at the request of the patient, she can be given local anesthesia, as there is a slight burning sensation or slight tingling sensation. This method is applicable to nulliparous women. Among other advantages - the speed of carrying out on an outpatient basis, the absence of bleeding.

However, the method has some disadvantages: a long recovery process, the appearance of watery discharge, the impossibility of processing deeply affected tissues. In addition, re-therapy may be required.

Chemical coagulation method

The procedure is reduced to the treatment of the eroded surface with medications. If earlier doctors used mainly Vagotil, now it has been replaced by a more modern and effective remedy - Solkovagin.

During the procedure, the doctor, using a cotton swab, dries the damaged area. Another tampon is carefully soaked with the chosen product and the area with erosion is treated with it. The processing time is 3 minutes. Excess drug is removed with another dry cotton swab. For a more accurate application, the entire session is controlled by colposcopy.

The procedure is absolutely painless and does not even require local anesthesia. This method of treatment is suitable for a woman who has never given birth. However, this method is not used if the erosion is more than 1 cm in diameter. But due to the fact that drugs are much milder than physical treatments, several treatments may be required for a complete cure.



Any moxibustion process is aimed at destroying abnormal cells, which must subsequently be replaced by healthy stratified squamous epithelium. As already mentioned, the term "moxibustion" is not always correct. However, it is he who reflects the essence of any technique.

If we consider any procedure in stages, then it consists of a number of sequential actions:

    The woman undergoes a full diagnosis to find out any contraindications to the moxibustion session.

    If these are not found, the patient comes to the doctor, most often in the first half of the menstrual cycle.

    The preparation of the treated area is carried out (its boundaries are determined, sometimes the surface is dried).

    Erosion is influenced in one way or another, destroying its cells.

    In place of the treated surface, either a scab or a thin film is formed.

    Within a few weeks, the scab leaves, and the damaged tissue is replaced with healthy tissue.

    It is formed on the treated surface. However, modern medicine avoids this unpleasant stage.

    The woman is recovering.

Contraindications to moxibustion

In order to undergo the moxibustion procedure by any of the above methods, you must make sure that there are no contraindications.

Among them are the following:

    Any inflammatory processes of the genital area.

    The presence of any sexually transmitted disease.

    Any active bleeding.

    Blood clotting disorders.

    Malignant neoplasm of the eroded area.

    Pregnancy, and sometimes a period.

    Uninterrupted lochia and early postpartum period.

    Installed intrauterine device.

    Cesarean section performed.

    Clinical blood test.

    Blood chemistry.

    Clinical analysis of urine.

    Blood test for hepatitis.

    A blood test to detect urogenital infections, including HPV. The most reliable in this regard is PCR analysis.

    Taking a smear for oncocytology (Papanicolaou test) and flora.

    Extended colposcopy and, if indicated, biopsy.

If there are no deviations from the norm according to the results of these analyzes, then the woman will be sent to undergo the moxibustion procedure. If any genital or other infections are found, preliminary treatment is necessary.

Consequences of cauterization of cervical erosion

Although medicine has made great strides in the treatment of erosion, the ideal procedure that would not have any consequences for the woman's body has not been found. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is so important to make not only the right choice regarding the method of moxibustion, but also to find a qualified specialist.

Among the possible consequences of cauterization of erosion, both immediate and distant symptoms are distinguished.

The nearest, that is, those that may arise in the first 8 weeks after undergoing the procedure, include:

    Exacerbation of inflammation of the fallopian tube or both the fallopian tube and ovaries. Most often, the process is one-sided, although it can develop on both sides.

    Bleeding with significant loss of blood (this complication does not include minor bleeding, which is the norm).

    Menstrual irregularities, in particular development.

Among other consequences that occur two months after moxibustion, more often than others are observed:

    Complete scarring or stenosis of the cervical canal.

    Scarring of the underlying layer, this complication has received the name "coagulated neck syndrome" in medicine.

    Re-emergence of erosion in the same place.


    Better cryodestruction - freezing with liquid nitrogen. It does not hurt at all, it pulls a little on the lower abdomen as with menstruation. And for me, for example, with menstruation, nothing was ever drawn so I did not feel anything at all. Now there is already a laser method, but it is more expensive and probably not everyone knows how to do it 100% with high quality, because I know some ladies who have not cured everything with a laser, and still they kind of finished it off by freezing.

    The most modern methods are a radio knife, a laser. Fast and efficient. Also, liquid nitrogen is often used, a slightly outdated method, but it works great, it helped me. Absolutely painless, though then restrictions in sex life for almost a month ...

    I think this question is all individually... For women who have given birth, there are, of course, more ways to cure erosion. But I will talk about my experience erosion treatment before delivery.

    I studied a lot of information and came to the conclusion that when slight erosion the best option is the drug Solkovagin... This is the liquid that the doctor (!) Applies to the affected areas of the cervix. This is usually done at intervals of several days. The disadvantage of the drug is that it will not cope with large erosion.

    If erosion big(in my case it was for the whole neck), then radical treatment is needed. Surprisingly, the opinions of doctors differ. I am personally sure that the safest thing is laser... Now the price is around 3000 rubles. Everything healed from 1 procedure, although they promised, if anything, to re-cauterize it for free.

    I burned it with nitrogen. It doesn’t hurt, but then it’s better to lie down, because there is weakness. In addition, it takes some time to discharge. After that I went to the doctor for treatment several times, then she did a colposcopy and said that everything was ok.

    If your finances permit, it is better to use a laser. I would not recommend freezing with liquid nitrogen. It is very dangerous for the female body. In addition, after freezing, many have problems conceiving a child. The laser will be safer and more efficient. Moreover, after the laser, you will not even have a scar.

    It is better, of course, to remove erosion with a laser. With this procedure, you do not have scars and you can safely become pregnant after 3 months. And during childbirth, the cervix will open normally. And of course, the method of treatment in this order is more expensive.

    A couple of years ago I was treating cervical erosion. The nulliparous girls do with medication, and in most cases without it.

    And women who have already given birth must necessarily come after childbirth to cure erosion. So did I. My gynecologist suggested that I cauterize the erosion with liquid nitrogen, since this is the most gentle method of treating this disease. I agreed. And really, it didn't hurt, there were unpleasant sensations. After the procedure, there was a slight weakness, the stomach was pulled, and during the week there was a watery discharge.

    A month later, I came to an appointment, where the gynecologist told me that the erosion had already healed.

    There are many ways to cauterize erosion. Your gynecologist should advise on which method is best for you. Since there are different nuances, giving birth / giving birth, the size of erosion, do you plan to become pregnant or not, if so, after how many years, etc. I was cauterized by the method of coagulation. I was very much afraid, because before the procedure I had read everyone on the Internet. Thank God everything went quickly and without pain. The procedure took about 20 minutes. I was sprinkled with freezing in advance, it seems like icecaine. I did not feel any pain at all. And most importantly, my erosion has finally healed. I'm very happy.

    I was also cauterized with erosion. And it doesn't hurt at all, let's say a slight tingling sensation. If I had known about Chinese tampons before, then maybe I would have tried them first, read reviews about them and it is written that it removes erosion.

    The best way to cauterize erosion can only be advised by a competent specialist, because despite the fact that in modern medicine there are many different options, doctors still recommend some women the old methods of cauterization with electric current. Everything still depends on the woman's age and her desire to have children in the future. So for example, if you are planning a pregnancy in the near future, then the current is not cauterized, because after this procedure a scar is formed and so that it does not disperse during childbirth, you cannot give birth for at least 3 years from the moment of cauterization (not recommended). What can not be said about other methods of moxibustion: liquid nitrogen, radio waves and a laser. There are no restrictions, you can plan a pregnancy right away.

Diseases of the cervix are quite common in gynecology, especially in our time. Most often, erosion of the cervix is ​​detected, all women under 45 years old are susceptible to this disease. Depending on the symptomatology in gynecology, there are different methods of treatment. Generally, surgery is the best and fastest way to get rid of the erosion. But for this, there must be weighty indications for such an operation.

Briefly about the disease

Ectopia of the cervix is ​​probably the most common pathology among other female problems. In theory, ectopia is damage to the lining of the cervix that needs treatment. Sometimes women are diagnosed with a congenital type of erosion.

As a rule, this type of disease goes away on its own after childbirth. Among other things, there is also a true ectopia, which looks like a wound on the very mucous membrane of the cervix, this type heals on its own after a short period of time. But there are also other types of erosion that are not able to heal on their own, so they require removal. Moxibustion is usually used.

During the operation, the patient is placed on a gynecological chair. After that, a specialized instrument called a dilator is inserted into the vagina, which allows the specialist to carefully examine the vagina for pathologies. Next, the specialist cleans the vaginal cavity with a sterile swab, and then examines the walls of the vagina with a colposcope to identify signs of neoplasms. A couple of minutes before the operation, the doctor applies a special pain reliever. The choice of a method for removing pathology depends primarily on the experience, the attending physician, the availability of appropriate equipment and the volume of the affected epithelium itself. What way to get rid of pathology will help your doctor decide.

What types of therapy are popular today

  1. Diathermoelectrocoagulation. This method is inherently trivial moxibustion using an electric current with a small discharge. The wound is treated with a current of deep patency. In gynecology, it can be said to be the most popular way to get rid of this kind of problem. Of course, this method is very painful and leaves scars on the cervix, but it is also the most effective.
  2. Cryotherapy. It is quite simple to use, but at the same time requires extreme caution, therefore, it should be carried out exclusively by a doctor with extensive experience in this area. The procedure is carried out using a cryo probe, its essence is to freeze the affected area of ​​the mucous membrane. When using cryotherapy, it can be noted that only affected cells die, while healthy ones remain intact and unharmed. It is best to consult your doctor before using this procedure. I would like to note that if you have a very deep epithelial lesion, this method will not work, it is better to cauterize the ectopia, this is the only way to get rid of the problem forever.
  3. Laser treatment. Using a laser beam, the damaged area of ​​the skin is evaporated. The method is painless and does not leave scars on the cervix, but a biopsy cannot be performed. Such treatment is not so often used in practice; for this, the testimony of a doctor is needed.
  4. Radio wave surgery. A fairly common method in which a radio knife is used. With this tool, the entire affected area of ​​the skin in the cervical region is cut off. I would like to emphasize that such an operation is absolutely painless and bloodless, the operation can be performed even by women who have never given birth!
  5. Argon plasma coagulation. This method is unique and very widespread in Russia. This technique uses a special gas, argon, which is sprayed onto the damaged tissue. Such treatment can also be used for nulliparous girls, healing takes place in a short period of time, and the patient will not feel any discomfort.

Whichever method of treatment you choose, you first need to consult with your doctor. He, based on your analyzes, will decide which treatment is best for erosion.

Consequences of moxibustion

According to the researchers, none of the above methods of treatment provides a complete guarantee for a complete cure for erosion. But statistics tell us that at least 80% of patients who fix the problem in this way have achieved a good result. Some treatments guarantee 98% success. These data are good and give any patient hope for the best possible outcome after surgery.

The consequences of such an operation include:

  • Drawing pains.
  • Discharge from the uterus.
  • The need for complete physical rest.
  • It is not immediately possible to engage in sex life.

It is also important to know that any method of therapy has its own prohibitions. Frequent contraindications include pregnancy, any oncological diseases, inflammation in the genital area.

Despite the fact that any of the above methods of therapy has its own disadvantages, it is imperative to be treated, and not by folk methods. Self-medication will only aggravate the existing disease, which will cause complications. Lack of therapy can lead to uterine cancer, especially with erosion. The consequences of improper therapy can be shown in the appearance of scars inside the vagina, which naturally affects the conception of the child and further childbirth. Today, gynecologists are in most cases qualified with work experience, so they can recommend the correct method of therapy. This will help preserve all the reproductive functions of the patient, as well as prevent the occurrence of the most common disease, such as cervical cancer.

According to statistics, almost half of women are faced with a medical diagnosis - "cervical erosion."

The diagnosis is common for a number of reasons and is not harmless in many cases. But a huge number of women, according to the same statistics, do not seek qualified help, do not conduct examinations and do not receive adequate treatment.

It is not uncommon for patients to self-medicate using traditional medicine and lose precious time. What is cervical erosion, and in what cases it is necessary to cauterize it, we will talk with a gynecologist with 51 years of experience - Alla Grigorievna Lozko.

Ectopia (the old name is cervical erosion) is indeed the most common pathology that women around the world are exposed to. It seems - well, what's wrong with that? Any mucosal defects? But it’s not that simple.

Up to 18 years old and according to some reports even up to 20 years old, congenital erosion (dyshormonal ectopia) is diagnosed, which in most cases passes without treatment and is the norm. For example, during the period of hormonal changes in a woman's body, including after the birth of a child.

The erosion that requires compulsory treatment is post-traumatic ectopia that remains after childbirth or abortion. It cannot go away on its own and must be treated.

The best gynecologists in our catalog

We often hear that even experts do not have a consensus on this matter - about the need for erosion treatment. Is it so?

Indeed, it is believed that erosion is a medical myth. There are adherents of the theory that there is no need to treat erosion at all. According to some medical schools, erosion should not be touched even until the age of 45, provided that a woman is regularly observed by a gynecologist, undergoes a cytological and colposcopic examination, which does not show changes in the cells of the columnar epithelium.

So how can mere mortals understand this issue? Even if experts argue?

For this, it is necessary to cite a few facts so that those reading this article can figure it out. Each of the facts that I will cite, one way or another, speak in favor of different points of view on the treatment of erosion.

For example, supporters of the fact that erosion does not need to be touched rely on the absence of the diagnosis of "cervical erosion" in the classification of diseases. This classification is used in the United States and in some European countries.

Why is this diagnosis not included in the classification of diseases? And in the medical scientific Western literature, it is also extremely rare? Perhaps there are some special women who do not have this pathology? Or does it go away by itself, without health consequences?

REFERENCE. The diagnosis of "erosion of the cervix" is used abroad to designate a rare pathology, which is ulceration of the vaginal surface of the cervix. Since the word "erosion" is translated from Latin as "ulcer", then such ulcers are in cervical cancer, with mechanical gross injuries or burns.

The modern term used by our gynecologists is ectopia of columnar epithelium.

Attention! I want to emphasize that in post-Soviet countries they use the diagnosis "cervical erosion" in relation to pseudo-erosion, which is wrong. Such pseudo-erosion visually (with the naked eye) resembles erosion, but it is not. Pseudo-erosion up to a certain age of a woman is not considered a pathology and does not require treatment.

What should be done before moxibustion?

- Take tests - smears for infections. Cauterization is performed only in the absence of infection and third-degree dysplasia. If an infection is found, it should be cured before proceeding with the moxibustion procedure.

Reference. Dysplasia is a change in epithelial cells, determined by cytological examination. Dysplasia is precancerous.

Now tell us about the methods of moxibustion.

There are several methods. The very first method that began to be used in gynecology is electrocoagulation, that is, moxibustion with an electric current (diathermocoagulation). Plus only one - it's cheap and easy. And that's it! The method is outdated today, as it is painful and causes scarring. Bleeding and the development of endometriosis are also possible. It is undesirable for women planning pregnancy. By the way, any moxibustion is not carried out for cancer and third-degree dysplasia.

More modern methods

Freezing with liquid nitrogen - cryotherapy or cryodestruction. This is an effective painless method that does not leave scars, scars, does not usually cause bleeding, is indicated for all women. The cost is affordable.

Nitrogen, which is in a special apparatus, enters the treated areas and does not affect healthy areas. Sometimes after the procedure, there may be a slight swelling, which soon disappears and does not require treatment. Tissue regeneration takes place over several weeks.

After the procedure, a profuse watery discharge is observed for two to three weeks. Treatment should be carried out only by a qualified doctor with extensive experience, since with poor-quality treatment of the affected tissues, their complete recovery is impossible.

In addition, the cervix can be deformed (for example, during a difficult delivery). Then the doctor is required to be accurate, since the applicator can capture healthy tissues.
Vaporization with a laser beam or laser coagulation (evaporation) is also an effective modern method in which a woman does not feel pain.

Does not leave scars and scar formations, does not cause bleeding, can be carried out for all women. Contraindications include the presence of malignant neoplasms, pregnancy and the postpartum period. More expensive method.

Equipment for the procedure is available only in modern gynecological clinics.
Radio wave method - cauterization of the neck using radio waves. It is relatively affordable, has no contraindications, is painless and does not give complications. The action is similar to viparization.

This is a very effective method that is currently widely used in Europe and the United States. It is carried out using special equipment. We do not use this method in all regions.

Surgitron. With this device, it is possible to process the neck in just a few minutes. Radio waves evaporate erosion, while the likelihood of complications is practically reduced to zero.

The doctor warns the patient that there will be watery discharge and there may be a slight pulling pain in the lower abdomen, which is quite normal.

Fotek is an injury-free erosion treatment, so the patient does not feel pain or discomfort. The development of repeated erosion is practically excluded.

Like Surgitron, Fotek is a quick method, the procedure lasts only a few minutes. The exposure time depends on the size of the neck and the treated area.

Chemical coagulation - moxibustion with acid solutions (solkovagin). An inexpensive and effective method. But it can only be used when the erosion is not too large. It often takes several treatments to get a good result.

And finally, treatment with ionized gas is a non-contact method. Argon is probably the name many have heard. This is not a very common method in our country, but it has advantages - minimal trauma, preservation of adjacent tissues, and absence of painful sensations.

Local anesthesia is used for pain relief. Does not leave scars or scars, does not cause bleeding. Infection with an infection is excluded. And another plus - it can be carried out for all patients, including those who have not given birth. The procedure takes about fifteen minutes, which is longer than with the radio wave method.

I want to emphasize that with the help of modern methods of cauterization of the cervix, not only erosion is treated, but also other pathologies, for example, leukoplakia.

After the procedure, there is a discharge. The regeneration process takes longer than with radio wave and laser therapy and cryodestruction. The recovery period can last from a month to two to two and a half, in some cases.

How do you choose the best method?

You need to contact an experienced specialist in a reputable clinic. Your doctor will recommend which method is right for you.

What should be done after the procedure? Are there any special guidelines?

Of course. For a certain period, which is determined by the attending physician, it is necessary to refrain from sexual intercourse. There is no need to take a hot bath, visit a bathhouse and a sauna. Avoid heavy physical activity, do not use tampons, only pads. All this is necessary for better healing.

And, of course, follow-up medical supervision is necessary. If there are unpleasant symptoms, you can take pain relievers, for example, Nosh-pu, pentalgin, or spazmalgon.

Conclusion

If you are diagnosed with cervical erosion, do not try to treat it yourself

So, a very common folk method is sea buckthorn oil. Sea buckthorn is a great remedy, but not in this case. Sea buckthorn oil can be used only after the moxibustion procedure, and then only as directed by a doctor.

Many women have heard in due time: "You have cervical erosion." The disease is a dysfunction of the mucous membrane of the cervix and requires therapy. Erosion usually proceeds without any painful symptoms. after sex may indicate the presence of a disease. Symptoms of erosion are also characterized by some discomfort when having sex, as well as a sensation. Abundant whitish discharge occurs.

The causes of erosion can be age-related changes in the female body, especially in adolescence, early onset of sexual activity, infectious diseases and inflammatory processes of the pelvic organs, as well as mechanical damage, such as childbirth or abortion.

Each gynecologist, upon examination, will instantly determine the incipient erosion of the cervix. Therapy should be done quickly. Because it threatens the development of cancer cells. The doctor, before performing moxibustion of erosion, will make an analysis for the presence of cancer cells. This procedure is called a biopsy.

There are several ways to deal with the disease.

Cauterization of erosion is carried out using an electric current - diathermocoagulation is an old method. The clinics have almost forgotten about him. The consequences of this treatment are a burn on the cervix. With the help of diathermoconization (a type of diathermocoagulation), the damaged tissue is cauterized and completely removed from the erosion zone.

The procedure takes about twenty minutes. In this case, the uterus is greatly reduced and the smell of burnt meat is heard. The consequences of treatment are profuse discharge, transparent and bloody, which lasts about a month. It happens that aching pain in the lower back is felt and there is a feeling of weakness.

In addition, diathermocoagulation often does not eliminate erosion the first time. The wound heals in six to seven weeks. It is used only in women who have given birth.

Nitrogen cauterization of erosion or cryotherapy is a more modern treatment. Liquid nitrogen is supplied through a special probe and freezes the damaged areas of the skin. This method has a precise effect, so healthy skin areas are not exposed to nitrogen. The therapy takes about ten to fifteen minutes. If the patient wishes, local anesthesia is used. During moxibustion, aching pains in the lower abdomen are felt. After the procedure, weakness is felt and for about two weeks there is an abundant watery discharge. The wound heals in about four to six weeks. You can also use nulliparous women.

Cauterization of erosion in ultra-modern clinics is carried out using a laser. Laser therapy or laser destruction is considered the most painless and safest method. The rehabilitation period lasts about a month. In girls who have not given birth, it can also be used.

The only non-contact therapy for erosion is the radio wave stimulates the internal energy of the cells, which contributes to the destruction and evaporation of damaged areas. Often there is a bloody discharge after the procedure. The method is absolutely painless. The body is rehabilitated for about a month. The nulliparous can safely be treated with radio waves.

Minor erosion is treated with chemical coagulation. Therapy involves exposure to the damaged area with medications. The most common is the moxibustion of erosion with solkovagin. Usually assigned to young and nulliparous girls. Such moxibustion of erosion is carried out in a course that can accommodate up to five procedures. The complete healing process is individual.
