In other cases, it is necessary to estimate the extent of the lesion, and only the doctor takes a decision on the need for treatment. A small lesion of the epithelium does not pose a danger for either mother or the kid. However, the problem can be much broader. The affected neck loses its elasticity, and damaged tissues easily become infected. There is a risk of rupture and bleeding during vaginal delivery.
What to do if there is erosion of the cervix in pregnancy?
Treatment of the cervix usually begins after childbirth,even if the woman is not yet pregnant. Standard treatment of the problem by cauterization leaves scars and reduces tissue elasticity. Erosion during pregnancy is treated only in extreme cases, when tissue damage is extensive and there is a risk of infection. The decision on the treatment method is made only by a doctor. Before childbirth, these may be:
- wound healing ointments;
- antifungal preparations:
- anti-inflammatory lotions;
- haemostatic agents.
Any drug is prescribed in strictlyindividual dosage, treatment is carried out in a hospital, under the supervision of medical personnel. Complete disposal of the problem by such methods is impossible, however they inhibit the pathological process and give time for bearing and childbirth. By themselves, women can try to get rid of ectopia by folk remedies. They should remember that any non-sterile drug introduced into the vagina can not only exacerbate the course of the disease, but also cause even more inflammation. In addition, many herbs and oils are dangerous for possible abortive action. Do not be afraid of diagnosis and urgently seek a solution to the problem. Erosion of the cervix is not an indication for abortion or cesarean. Usually, the birth is normal, and after 6 months you can start radical treatment with the method of cauterization.
