Erosion is a defect in the mucous membrane. This disease can affect a variety of organs that have a mucous membrane, so it is quite common.
Usually the cervix is smooth pink, smooth and shiny, when a defect is found, the affected area turns red. This process causes many diseases, inflammations.
Given that this is a fairly common disease, it is important to catch the onset of the development of the disease. The fact is that often neglected erosions lead to neoplasms, which can be malignant. Therefore, to treat erosion immediately, as soon as it is found, this will reduce any risks to zero.

Since erosion is a disease that occurs almost without symptoms, the only way to catch its onset in time is to regularly see a doctor.
If erosion is too great, you may be troubled by discharge, bloody mucus, or pain during sexual intercourse. In this case, the visit to the doctor should be immediate.
In order to find out the true cause of the erosion, the doctor takes many different tests. This is necessary in order for the treatment to be effective.
Before embarking on the treatment of erosion itself, it is important to destroy any infections that can be in the body and only then proceed to eliminate the problem itself.

For example, the so-called canning, chemical coagulation, includes the treatment of erosion with special medicines.
Surgical treatment is the most radical, while the affected tissues are removed.
Laser treatment is one way to eliminate erosion.
Cryodestruction is the treatment of the affected area with liquid nitrogen.
There is also a multi-wave surgery and cauterization with electric current.
