What Should I Do About Grade 1 Cervical Erosion?

Cervical erosion is actually a very common gynecological disease. After falling ill, patients can judge it through abnormal vaginal discharge. After going to the hospital for examination, if it is found to be cervical erosion grade 1, it is actually not serious. The patient should not worry, as the cervix has only a mild degree of erosion. Generally speaking, medication treatment will restore health after one course of treatment. Cervical ectropion is a normal physiological phenomenon without any special clinical manifestations. Some people may have contact bleeding, but this is only due to individual differences in the cervix, just like some people may bleed from their teeth or mouth when chewing hard things. If there is an increase in vaginal discharge, yellowing, and odor, it is a manifestation of cervical inflammation. Cervical cysts and hypertrophy are also the results of chronic cervical inflammation. Cervical ectropion does not require any treatment, and many current methods of treating cervical erosion are wrong. However, symptomatic cervicitis requires treatment. Acute inflammation is treated with suppositories, while chronic inflammation can be treated with physical methods such as laser or freezing. Regular cervical examination is necessary, not to prevent cervical erosion, but to prevent cervical cancer. The occurrence of cervical cancer is related to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Some patients with high-risk HPV infection are prone to precancerous lesions and cervical cancer when they have persistent infection in the cervical squamocolumnar junction area. Since the introduction of cervical scraping, the death rate of cervical cancer has decreased significantly, and the key is early prevention and treatment. Currently, it is recommended that women over 21 years old should have a cervical scraping examination once a year. After 30 years old, they can combine HPV testing. If three consecutive HPV and cervical scraping tests are negative, the interval can be extended to three years for one examination, and screening can be stopped after 65 years old.
