Cervical erosion - what is it?
Cervical erosion is a diseasefemale reproductive system, which is accompanied by small defects on the mucous membrane (wounds, ulcers). Over time, these wounds become larger and cause severe discomfort. The cause of erosion, as a rule, are pathogens that penetrate the body: chlamydia, gonococci, etc. However, this is not the only reason why the disease can develop. Injuries during childbirth or after an abortion, hormonal imbalances can contribute to the disease. In addition, the cervix can also have congenital erosions. The main symptoms of cervical erosion are the following:
- pain during menstruation;
- abundant discharge from the vagina, which have a sharp unpleasant odor;
- pains in the lower back.
These symptoms are a reason to visitgynecologist, as they indicate pathology. Most often, the disease develops in women aged 28 to 45 who have given birth and are sexually active. However, sometimes the disease is asymptomatic and is discovered by accident. At the initial stage of the disease, while the defects are small, a conservative treatment method is excellent, that is, the use of special vaginal suppositories. The same method is suitable for women who have not given birth. Usually, treatment is carried out in a medical institution, but the doctor can also prescribe treatment at home. Everything depends on how large the erosion is. If it is not in an advanced state and is small in size, then treatment at home can be quite effective.
Why suppositories are the best remedy for treating cervical erosion
We have already talked about the fact that candles areis an absolutely safe, effective and gentle remedy against this disease. It is perfect for women who plan to have a child in the future, as well as at the initial stage of the disease. When inserted into the vagina, the suppositories come into contact with the mucous membrane and thus stop the development of the inflammatory process, promote rapid healing of erosion and restore the epithelium of the cervix. The use of vaginal suppositories has a number of advantages:
- candles deliver medicinal substances directly to the center of inflammation;
- candles have a soft base and melting texture, which, heated by the body temperature, is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the vaginal mucosa;
- The suppositories additionally soften the affected mucous membrane, which, on the one hand, alleviates discomfort, and on the other hand, helps remove pathological discharge from the vagina;
- active ingredients of candles do not suppress the vital activity of "healthy" bacteria;
- candles are much more convenient to use than, for example, vaginal tablets, since they do not need to be prepared in advance for administration, they do not injure the mucous membrane.
You can buy candles at any pharmacy, or you can make them yourself. Whichever option you choose, they will be effective.
