Although this is not entirely true. Cauterization is just one of the methods of treatment - exposure to electric current. Nevertheless, we will include here and all other methods of treatment.
Cervical erosion is a pathological benign process characterized by inflammation and rejection of the cervical epithelium.
Today, there are different methods of treating erosion, aimed at removing tissue pathology and on the removal of the inflammatory process.
The following methods of treating cervical erosion can be distinguished:
- laser vaporization;
- chemical coagulation;
- cryodestruction;
- diathermocoagulation;
- radio knife( cauterization of cervical erosion by radio waves).
Diathermocoagulation
The traditional method of treatment. The affected area of the cervix is treated with electric current( cauterization of cervical erosion by Surgitron - a device for radio wave treatment).Electrocoagulation is desirable to be performed immediately after the end of menstruation. After the procedure, a scab appears on the cervix. A week later, accompanied by a whiter with impurities of blood, the scab is softened. The final healing usually begins about two months later.
Advantages of the method:
- high efficiency( up to 98%);
- availability and simplicity;
- low cost of the procedure.
Disadvantages of the method:
- scar formation;
- inability to use unborn women;
- risk of developing endometriosis;
- high probability of bleeding;
- the possibility of the appearance of stenosis;
- moxibustion of cervical erosion is accompanied by painful sensations.
Cryodestruction( cryocoagulation)
This method consists in cauterizing cervical erosion with nitrogen or nitrous oxide( at temperatures up to minus 150 degrees) with the use of special devices. The essence of the method is the crystallization of water, at which intracellular crystals are formed, which destroy cellular pathology. On the cervix appears necrosis, accompanied by secretions and edema. Full regeneration occurs in the second month of treatment.
Advantages of the method:
- rapid healing( epithelialization);
- possibility of using unfertilized women;
- no blood;
- no pain.
The disadvantages are:
- incomplete freezing of all tissues, which allows surviving some pathological cells.
Chemical coagulation
The method is based on the chemical effects of potent drugs on the inflammation focus( cauterization of cervical erosion solcovagin).A chemical reaction causes a burn and the formation of a scab. The drug Solkagin consists of mixtures of organic acids( oxalic, acetic) with zinc nitrate and nitric acid.
Advantages of the method:
- is not absorbed by blood;
- does not cause bleeding;
- simplicity and availability;
- possibility of using unfertilized women;
- complete absence of pain.
Disadvantages of the method:
- impossibility of processing large pathological sites.
Laser vaporization
The essence of the method is the laser beam impact on the pathological focus on the cervix. As a result of the procedure, damaged tissues are destroyed.
Advantages of the method:
- rapid healing;
- no complications;
- possibility of moxibustion of cervical erosion not giving birth;
- high accuracy of the procedure( colposcope);
- no risk of bleeding;
- high painless procedure.
Disadvantages:
- high price.
Consequences of cauterization of cervical erosion
Electric current for fifteen minutes affects the painful place - the cervix, and a permanently healing wound appears on the erosion site. The healing time can last up to six months.
After the operation, you should:
- completely abandon sex;
- to lead a healthy lifestyle;
- abandon hot tubs.
A postoperative wound can open and various infections can enter it.
Reviews for moxibustion of cervical erosion
As always, the reviews are quite opposite. We have chosen for you one detailed review, talking about the need for this procedure:
Tamara:
Hello! All women probably know what erosion of the cervix is. Many after childbirth acquire such a sore. So I once acquired this problem. The doctors immediately directed me to moxibustion, and I was terribly afraid and avoided this question in every possible way. Saw honey and mummies, was treated with sea buckthorn oil, made herbal syringing. However, my problem did not budge. Nothing cardinal happened. Then I went to one experienced gynecologist, to which all women want to get to the reception. He asked me if I want to develop cancer. I was puzzled by the incorrectness of the question and I was indignant. Then the doctor explained to me clearly the meaning of his question. It turns out that if you start erosion, the risk of cancer of the uterus grows by 50%. And he had suspicions of my lack of control. Then followed the explanation in the expediency of treatment precisely by the method of cauterization with electric current. Of course, I agreed. I must say that the procedure is almost painless and after it you can immediately go home. Before leaving, I received personal recommendations. I do not remember anything about fears for a long time, because it's been almost twenty years now. Since then, nothing has ever bothered me.
