Endocervicosis (another name - cervical erosion, pseudo-erosion, ectopia) is the most common pathology of the cervix.
Types of endocervicosis
- Simple endocervical cervix has no signs of neoplasm and is most common in gynecology. It is easily diagnosed when viewed with gynecological mirrors. A simple form of endocervicosis can serve as a prerequisite for the inflammatory process of the mucous membrane of the cervix (endocervicitis).
- Progressive endocervicosis is accompanied by neoplasms of glandular structures in the cervix of the uterus.
- Chronic endocervicosis often occurs asymptomatically, only in some cases a woman may notice unusual discharge from the vagina. A chronic form occurs if endocervicosis has not been treated on time. In this case, the inflammatory process develops in the nearest connective tissue and muscle fibers. When the diagnosis of "chronic endocervicosis" is indicated, antibacterial treatment is indicated.
Cervical endzervicosis: causes
It can occur as a result of the following factors:
- inflammatory processes in the pelvic organs;
- Sexually transmitted infections (human papillomavirus, genital herpes);
- as a result of improper syringing;
- injury from the use of barrier or chemical contraception;
- changes in the hormonal background;
- early onset of sexual activity;
- decreased immunity;
- abortion in a woman's history.
Endocervicosis of the cervix: symptoms
If there is a mild form of endocervicosis, then, as a rule, there are no visible signs of the disease. When the form is started, the following signs of endocervicosis can be noted in a woman:
- the cervix has a reddish tint;
- purulent discharge from the vagina;
- pulling pain in the lower abdomen;
- itching in the genital area;
- spotting after intercourse.
Endocervical cervix: treatment
For the treatment of hospitalization in the hospital is not required. The most popular method of treatment is diathermocoagulation - cauterization of the skin area using high temperatures. This method can be used to treat women who have given birth, since after its use the elasticity of the cervix is lost, which can adversely affect the subsequent birth and pregnancy in a woman. The healing period is 2-2.5 months.
Other treatments can also be used:
- cryodestruction ;
- laser therapy .
The first method has one significant drawback: as a result of the action of liquid gas on the affected areas of the skin there is insufficient freezing of tissues, as a result not all dangerous cells die.
The method of laser therapy is the most effective, since it allows to accurately produce a cut of tissue and to affect the smallest vessels. Has a shorter healing period - up to 1.5 months.
The doctor may prescribe medication (solkovagin, vagotil). They have less therapeutic effect and can be used in the treatment of a relatively small affected area of the skin.
Endocervicosis: treatment with folk remedies
For the treatment of endocervicosis, folk remedies can be used:
- Tampons from a mixture of onions and sea buckthorn oil in a proportion of one to one;
- 3 grams of rock oil is dissolved in one liter of water, take the solution 3 times a day for 250 mg, in parallel, you must enter tampons with the same solution;
- juice from the roots of burdock mixed with honey, sea buckthorn and hunter's oil in a ratio of 1: 1: 1: 1. Tampons with the resulting tincture enter at night until complete cure.
By itself, endocervicosis is a benign entity. However, in the absence of suitable treatment, a malignant tumor can develop. Therefore, timely diagnosis and treatment will avoid unpleasant consequences in the future. Since the risk of relapses is great, you must visit your doctor every six months for preventive examination.
