Causes of erosion
Defects on the mucous membrane of the cervix canarise for different reasons. Medical science is familiar with two types of erosion: acquired and congenital. Congenital erosion is pseudo-erosion. Another name is ectopia. Visually pseudo-erosion is a velvety reddening of the tip of the cervix. In fact, it is only a prismatic epithelium that has left the cervical canal. This physiological feature is found in women with an elevated level of progesterone. This phenomenon is not dangerous. Treatment of the cervix is not required. Where the erosion acquired is more unpleasant. It is precisely the defects of the mucous membrane. The lesions in the form of small red spots are clearly traced against the background of pink healthy tissue. The most common cause of such lesions is any infection. For example: mycoplasmosis, gonorrhea, genital herpes virus, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, etc. These diseases are usually transmitted through sexual contact. Each of them has its own pronounced symptoms. Candidiasis or vaginosis, which are bacterial infections, can also cause erosion. All listed diseases are quite dangerous. Therefore, before treating erosion, it is necessary to identify and eliminate the cause. Mechanical damage to mucous tissues after childbirth or abortion also contributes to the onset of the disease. The tendency to the appearance of defects on the cervix is in women with hormonal disorders or with a fuzzy menstrual cycle. It should be recalled that the disorderly change of partners, the early onset of sexual activity significantly increase the risk of genital diseases, including erosion. 
Symptoms of erosion and preparation for treatment
As a rule, cervical erosion proceedsis asymptomatic. A woman does not bother much. Identify the disease can be with a gynecological examination. However, a cause for concern may be a profuse discharge pathological character. It should be remembered that normal discharge from the vagina is present in a small amount and does not have an unpleasant odor. They are transparent or whitish. In cases of an increase in the number of secretions, changes in color, the appearance of an unpleasant odor, you should consult a doctor. At the reception the gynecologist conducts a visual examination on the chair. Before the doctors learned to use colposcopy to study the cervix, the diagnosis of "erosion" was very vague. It meant the presence of a lot of redness on the mucous surface. Colposcopy allows you to examine female genitalia under a special medical microscope. If necessary, have advanced colposcopy. Then the cervix of the uterus before the treatment is treated with a special solution, which allows visually to reveal the pathology. If the diagnosis is confirmed, the doctor chooses the appropriate cervical erosion treatment. Medical science knows different methods of treating the cervix. To find the most suitable method help different tests. Before removing erosion, the patient must donate blood from the vein and swab from the vagina. The results of the tests show whether chlamydia, genital herpes, ureaplasma, mycoplasma, etc. are present in the body. Serious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis C are also detected. In addition, a study of the microflora of the vagina for the presence of a dysbiosis is necessary. With appropriate individual indications, sometimes an ultrasound of the ovaries and a biopsy.
Traditional methods of treatment
Treatment of cervical erosion is possible by severalways. There are traditional and non-traditional methods. Non-traditional (folk) methods have only anti-inflammatory effect. Their use is advisable only at the initial stage of the disease and in the absence of various infections. Self-medication is unacceptable. The advisability and effectiveness of a particular national method should be evaluated by the attending physician, and not by the patient. The following methods of treating cervical erosion are popular:
- Sea buckthorn oil. This drug can be obtained at any pharmacy. It is worth it inexpensively. Cotton swabs are soaked with sea buckthorn oil, then inserted into the vagina at night. The course of treatment is 14 days.
- Infusion of calendula. It is necessary to pour dry calendula with boiling water, allow to cool, drain. Or dissolve 1 teaspoon of 2% tincture of marigold in a glass of boiled water. Dent in a ready solution.
- Honey. Thick honey diluted with water. The resulting solution is moistened with a cotton swab. The tampon is inserted at night into the vagina.
Unfortunately, the treatment of erosion of the cervix by folk remedies is ineffective. Therefore, it is more reasonable to resort to proven traditional methods. 
Traditional methods of treatment
Traditional methods are more effective than folk methods. Medical science has this proof. The main direction of the methods is the removal of damaged cells. There are several ways of traditional treatment. Drug treatment. This option is effective for eliminating the inflammatory process on the cervix. This method is rarely used on its own. Usually it is necessary as an adjunct to complex therapy. In cases where the cause of erosion are bacterial infections, a course of antibiotic treatment is conducted. It should be remembered that most of these diseases are transmitted sexually. Therefore, the course of drug treatment is prescribed to both partners simultaneously. Cryodestruction. In other words - freezing. Treatment is as follows. To the erosion-regulated site, liquid nitrogen is supplied. The temperature of the substance is so low that the damaged parts of the mucous membrane of the cervix are frozen. Sick cells die after a while, then they are removed naturally. Healthy cells remain alive and are not damaged. This method has many advantages. He is completely painless and completely bloodless. The cervix is not injured either during the freezing or after the procedure. Rubtsov does not remain afterwards. Laser coagulation. Laser cautery is used for this method. This is a gentle method of treatment. After it, the cervix does not deform, scarring does not appear. The length of the laser beam is strictly controlled. The parameters are set according to the depth of tissue damage. It is noteworthy that the ray must remove only diseased cells. Healthy tissue is not affected or damaged. Diathermocoagulation. Another name is moxibustion. The method consists in cauterizing the damaged cells with an electric current. The effectiveness of this method is quite high, but there are some drawbacks. After cauterization, a cicatrix remains on the cervix. This circumstance can prevent a woman from having children. Radio wave mode. This is an innovative method. The essence is as follows: radio waves directly affect the affected tissue. The radio wave method has high efficiency. Its advantages: painlessness, absence of negative consequences, quick recovery process after treatment.
Prevention of disease
It is known that the disease is better prevented thanthen treat. That's why it is so important for health to follow the rules of prevention. First, you must follow the rules of personal hygiene. Daily water procedures, clean linen. During the menstrual cycle it is good to take a shower not only in the evening, but also in the morning. Secondly, you should lead a neat lifestyle. The disorderly change of partners negatively affects the health of female genital organs. The microflora of the vagina undergoes constant changes. The risk of acquiring a sexually transmitted disease increases substantially. Thirdly, contraception. If conception is not planned, you need to think about this in advance. Abortion has a very negative impact on the health of women. The cervix is grossly injured. The chance to acquire erosion increases several times. Fourth, a visit to a gynecologist should take place at least 2 times a year. The earlier the disease is discovered, the easier it is to cure it. Only a doctor can decide how to cure erosion. Many women are afraid to treat this disease, fearing complications. However, this is just a delusion. As a rule, the removal of damaged tissue passes without consequences. But a neglected disease can lead to the development of a malignant tumor - cancer. And, of course, one should remember about immunity. Walking in the fresh air, proper nutrition, vitamins and positive emotions will be useful to all the fair sex.
