When the area of cervical erosion accounts for more than 2/3 of the entire cervix, it is classified as Grade III cervical erosion, also known as severe cervical erosion. Symptoms of Grade III cervical erosion include increased vaginal discharge, yellowish color, thick and malodorous discharge that irritates the vulva causing itching. Sometimes, post-coital contact bleeding or irregular vaginal bleeding may occur, along with frequent urination. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvis, symptoms such as lower back pain, pelvic heaviness, and dysmenorrhea may appear, worsening during menstruation, bowel movements, or sexual intercourse.
For patients with Grade III cervical erosion, due to the excessive and viscous secretions from the cervix, sperm find it difficult to pass through, affecting their motility and hindering their entry into the uterine cavity. The inflammatory environment of the cervix affects the environment for sperm survival, reducing their vitality. Moreover, the cervical secretions contain a large number of white blood cells that can engulf sperm. These factors can lead to infertility. Additionally, patients with Grade III cervical erosion have a risk of cervical cancer that is more than five times higher than that of the general population. Therefore, it is essential to treat cervical erosion actively.
Due to the larger eroded area in Grade III cervical erosion, traditional treatment methods are not very effective and have longer courses of treatment. Thus, electrocautery is often used to cut away the eroded tissue to achieve therapeutic purposes. However, traditional electrocautery causes significant damage to cervical tissues, leaving scars that affect fertility. During cutting, the tissue may be stretched and carbonized, making it unfavorable for preserving intact tissue samples for pathological examination. Furthermore, it may cause other surgical complications and infections.
The director of the Department of Gynecology at Suzhou Dongwu Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital reminds patients: those suffering from cervical erosion should not self-medicate or blindly trust so-called "latest technologies." Instead, they should consult online beforehand to gain clear information, then choose a reputable hospital and make an appointment with experienced doctors for treatment in this field. A detailed diagnosis should be conducted at the appointed time to understand the stage of the disease, the extent of the lesion, and its severity. Only under the guidance of a doctor can one select the most suitable medical technology for standardized and full-course treatment, saving time and effort. With experienced hospital treatment, the disease can be restored as soon as possible while minimizing the impact on the body and life.
