Cervical ectropion is a gynecological disease that sometimes occurs in women, mainly during childbirth. It is necessary to clarify its harm and pay attention to treatment methods.
Symptoms of cervical ectropion
The main symptoms of cervical ectropion are an increase in mucinous vaginal discharge and exposure of the endometrium in pregnant women, as well as common symptoms such as lower abdominal or lumbosacral pain and ectopic opening in daily life.
In the early stages of cervical ectropion, the mother's uterus will discharge some mucilaginous fluid. If combined with chronic cervicitis, purulent secretions similar to egg white will be discharged. In the case of long-term congestion of the cervix, cervical connective tissue hyperplasia can occur, with obvious hypertrophy of the front and back lips of the cervix, redness and swelling of the mucosa, and mucous secretions attached to its surface.
In addition to the above symptoms, some pregnant women may experience bloody vaginal discharge, or may experience vaginal bleeding during sexual activity, gynecological examination, or forced defecation.
Hazard of cervical ectropion
1. Cervical ectropion can easily cause uterine edema, congestion, and enlargement of the cervix
2. Improper or untimely treatment of cervical ectropion can easily lead to bacterial invasion and infection. If the infection is not treated in a timely manner, the inflammation extends to the cervical canal, causing endometritis and salpingitis, and spreading along the uterine ligament and main ligament leading to complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease.
3. If cervical laceration is severe and not treated in a timely manner, it can lead to infertility and affect expectant mothers who are preparing to have a second child.
Treatment of cervical ectropion
1. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment Method for Cervical Varsion
(1) Kushen Suppository: This traditional Chinese medicine has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. The treatment of cervical ectropion and combined infection with damp heat type cervical erosion, increased vaginal discharge, and yellow vaginal discharge has a certain diagnostic and therapeutic effect. This drug is an external medication, one pill per night, inserted deep into the vagina.
(2) Yunnan Baiyao: This medicine has the effects of promoting blood circulation, resolving blood stasis, and reducing inflammation and swelling. Especially when cervical ectropion causes postpartum low back pain, it can be applied externally to relieve the pain. Pregnant women only need to apply to inflamed and swollen areas when applying, or they can add Vaseline ointment according to the doctor's advice.
(3) Traditional Chinese Medicine Lotion: A combination of Fructus Cnidii, Cortex Phellodendri, Sophora flavescens, Atractylodes macrocephala, and other traditional Chinese medicine lotions. When there is a concurrent infection in cervical ectropion, washing with traditional Chinese medicine can have anti-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory effects.
