Radio wave treatment of cervical erosion
Often erosion occurs without any accompanying symptoms.symptoms and is diagnosed only during a preventive examination. Sometimes after intercourse, spotting may appear. With a long course, erosion provokes the development of dysplasia. Today, radio wave therapy of the cervix is the most effective method of treating erosion, which is gaining more and more popularity every day. Treatment is carried out using the high-frequency device "Surgitron". Before prescribing radio wave treatment for erosion, diagnostics are mandatory, during which the shape and degree of tissue change are determined. Radio wave destruction of cervical erosion consists in making an incision to crush tissue cells or without physical manual impact. A surgical electrode made of very thin wire imitates high-frequency waves. Tissues that resist their penetration emit heat, and the cells in the path of the waves evaporate, diverging to the sides under their own weight. Radio wave destruction of cervical erosion makes it possible to make an incision of any configuration and depth, even in deep layers of tissue. This method allows to remove formations on the skin and mucous membranes without suturing. Cauterization of cervical erosion with radio waves allows to prevent such unpleasant consequences as hemorrhagic and purulent complications.
Why the treatment of cervical erosion by radio waves is better than other methods
- cauterization of erosion, as a rule, once;
- the technique is gentle. The incision in the radio wave destruction of cervical erosion occurs without tissue destruction, which is observed with the use of other surgical instruments;
- therapy is amenable only to pathological areas, healthy tissues are not affected;
- due to the absence of injuries, the healing processoccurs painlessly, without the formation of scars and scars. This makes it possible to apply radio wave treatment to the cervix in those women who have not yet given birth;
- the use of a radio-coagulant prevents the occurrence of burns;
- a great advantage of the radio wave method of treatment in the strongest antimicrobial effect;
- After the procedure, a special film is formed, necessary to protect the cervix from various microorganisms and contributes to the achievement of a good healing effect;
- rapid recovery after the procedure and finding in a short time the working capacity. The epithelization of tissues when using a radio wave is painless and fast, is about 3-6 weeks.
In some cases, there are slightvaginal discharge of a bloody nature, which disappears on its own within 10 days. If the discharge becomes more abundant, then you should consult a doctor for an examination. Radio wave therapy is not characterized by a large amount of discharge. Mild pain in the lower abdomen may bother you for several days. As a rule, they do not require special therapy and disappear on their own. Unlike other existing methods, after radio wave treatment of cervical erosion, a woman is allowed to take long trips or travel within a week;
- during treatment by this method it is possibleremoval of genital warts and other pathological formations (nevi, warts, polyps, hemangiomas). If there are foci of endometriosis on the cervix, they can be successfully coagulated;
- almost complete absence of relapses.
The process of radio wave treatment
Before radio wave treatment of cervical erosion, a woman must undergo a preliminary examination, consisting of the following stages:
- smear on the flora;
- PCR assays for infection;
- bacteriological culture of the microflora of the vagina;
- cytological examination;
- blood test for syphilis, HIV, hepatitis B, C;
- a blood test for scc;
- biopsy (according to indications);
- colposcopy.
Treatment of erosion with radio waves is carried out in the firsthalf of the menstrual cycle, from the 5th to the 10th day. This promotes faster tissue epithelization (if the erosion is small, the tissue can heal before the next menstruation). During the procedure, patients sometimes feel an unpleasant odor (if the device does not have a mini-extraction) and mild pain in the lower abdomen, sometimes a tingling sensation is felt, which passes very quickly. During the first 7 days after treatment, there may be small spotting colorless or brown discharge, which should not be frightening: this is a normal healing process. In most cases, one procedure is always enough for complete recovery. 2 weeks after the procedure, the doctor conducts an examination to assess the condition of the tissues. The success of treating cervical erosion with this method depends largely on the woman herself. As a rule, after the procedure, patients receive recommendations that must be strictly followed in the next month. For example, intense physical activity is prohibited for 2-4 weeks, you cannot lift weights weighing more than 3 kg, you cannot swim in a pool, lake, sea, take baths and visit saunas for the same amount of time. In each specific case, doctors give specific recommendations. Depending on the size of the erosion, the attending physician decides how long the woman should abstain from sex and other restrictions. Contraindications to the use of radio wave therapy of the cervix are limited to the presence of acute inflammatory processes and chronic diseases. First, it is necessary to cure acute diseases, and then radio wave therapy is carried out. This method is contraindicated for women with a pacemaker. Self-medication of erosion is dangerous. All folk methods used in self-treatment are basically nothing more than a myth, and many of them are even life-threatening (this is especially true for the use of poisonous plants and the possibility of getting burns to healthy tissues). Thus, the woman only aggravates the problem and misses precious time. There are different reasons for the appearance of erosion. The main ones are:
- inflammation, dysbacteriosis of the vagina, infection;
- sexually transmitted diseases;
- early onset of sexual activity and early labor(the mucous membrane of the cervix is finally formed and ripens only to 20-22 years, so early sexual life can contribute to infections and microtraumas, leading to the development of erosion);
- operations on internal genital organs or trauma, abortion, as well as gaps during childbirth;
- a disorder of the hormonal background (during puberty, pregnancy and breastfeeding, abortion, menopause);
- reduction of body defenses;
- problems of the endocrine nature.
Erosion can be small and barely noticeable,look like separate areas on the external os of the cervix, or can cover the entire surface of the cervix. There are cases of self-healing, but this only concerns true erosion. But even in this case, regular medical supervision is necessary, since independent epithelialization does not always occur. There are cases of erosion during pregnancy, and after childbirth - its disappearance. Acquired erosion must be treated without fail. Time plays an important role here: erosion grows and captures deeper layers of the mucous membrane. And a deeper lesion, as a rule, requires longer treatment. Radio wave therapy of the cervix can safely be called promising, technological, helping to achieve complete recovery in the treatment of erosion and various gynecological diseases.
