Cervical erosion is actually not real erosion, but one of the common gynecological diseases. It occurs because after suffering from chronic cervical inflammation, the inflammation in the deep tissues of the cervix is difficult to eliminate. The squamous epithelium on the surface of the cervix falls off due to nutritional disorders, and the denuded area is gradually covered by columnar epithelium proliferated from the cervical canal. Since the columnar epithelium is very thin, it allows the blood vessels and red interstitial tissue beneath to be seen, making the eroded area appear red and creating a clear boundary with the surrounding normal squamous epithelium.

Clinically, based on the size of the eroded area, cervical erosion can be classified into three degrees: mild, moderate, and severe. 1. Grade I Erosion (Grade I): The eroded area is less than one-third of the cervix. 2. Grade II Erosion (Grade II): The eroded area accounts for one-third to two-thirds of the cervix. 3. Grade III Erosion (Grade III): The eroded area is greater than two-thirds of the cervix.

Based on the manifestations of cervical erosion, it can also be divided into three types: simple erosion, which is commonly seen in the early stages of inflammation where the eroded area is covered by a single layer of columnar epithelium with a relatively smooth surface; if the inflammation persists, causing excessive proliferation of the cervical epithelium, the eroded area becomes uneven with a granular appearance, known as granular type erosion; if the glandular epithelium and interstitial tissue proliferate significantly, the unevenness becomes more pronounced, appearing papillary, which is called papillary type erosion. These three types may exist independently or concurrently.

If Grade III cervical erosion is left untreated, it can lead to serious consequences such as infertility and may cause the inflammation to spread upward to the pelvis, resulting in endometritis, pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexal inflammation, and other conditions. For Grade III cervical erosion, medication generally has little therapeutic effect because drug treatment has a long course, poor efficacy, and symptoms are likely to recur during treatment. Moreover, once the bacteria develop resistance, the drugs will lose their effectiveness.

For Grade III cervical erosion, physical therapy should be used. Common physical therapies include laser treatment, photodynamic therapy, BBT, HIFU, etc. However, these treatment methods all have some drawbacks: some treatments damage the cervix, some cannot cure the condition in one session, and others cause the condition to recur.

Since the eroded area in Grade III cervical erosion is large, traditional treatment methods are not effective and require a longer course of treatment. Therefore, electrocautery is often used to cut away the eroded tissue to achieve the purpose of treatment. However, traditional electrocautery causes significant damage to cervical tissue, leaving scars that affect fertility. Additionally, cutting can cause elongation and carbonization of the tissue, which is not conducive to preserving intact tissue samples for pathological examination. Furthermore, it may lead to other surgical complications and infections.

Experts recommend using high-frequency wave LEEP technology for severe cervical erosion and precancerous lesions of the cervix. Due to its precision and minimal trauma, postoperative recovery is faster, with little fibrosis or scarring formation, and does not affect fertility.

The Gynecology Department of Suzhou Dongwu Hospital has developed standardized and personalized treatment plans that can provide professional treatment for cervical erosion and other gynecological inflammations, effectively avoiding the problems of prolonged treatment, antibiotic abuse, and non-standardized treatment that currently exist in treating cervical erosion and other gynecological inflammations. The director of the Gynecology Department at Suzhou Dongwu Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital reminds patients: those with cervical erosion should not self-medicate or easily believe so-called "latest technologies." Instead, they should first consult online to understand clearly, then choose a regular hospital, and make an appointment with a doctor experienced in treating this condition. Then, go to the hospital for a detailed diagnosis at the appointed time. After understanding what stage the disease is in, the extent of the lesion, and the severity of the condition, the most suitable medical technology can be chosen under the guidance of a doctor to undergo standardized and sufficient treatment. This way, it can save time and effort, and with the treatment from an experienced hospital, the disease can recover quickly while minimizing the impact on the body and life.
