Today, medicine is ready to offer a woman with such a diagnosis a large selection of various means and methods. But only a doctor can prescribe an effective course of treatment individually in each case. Treatment of cervical erosion with suppositories is one of the gentle ways to stop the problem.
Indications for treatment of cervical erosion with suppositories
The inflammatory process in this area of the female genital organs can be caused by various reasons. Indications for the treatment of cervical erosion with suppositories can be the following:
- An imbalance of the microflora of the genital tract and vagina, leading to the appearance of wounds on the mucous epithelium of the cervix.
- Non-stop watery discharge with an unpleasant "aroma".
- Pain symptoms in the lumbar and sacral regions during menstruation.
- A decrease in the body's defenses, suppression of immunity, which causes viral diseases to enter the genital tract.
- Venereal diseases. For example, ureaplasma, chlamydine and others are the cause of cervical lesions caused by this pathology.
- Trauma to the genitals received during childbirth or an abortion can also lead to treatment of cervical erosion with suppositories.
- Hormonal imbalance in a woman's body, leading to destabilization of the menstrual cycle and, subsequently, erosive damage to the mucous membrane.
- An inflammatory process developing in the female organs can also be an indication for treating cervical erosion with suppositories.
- If a woman has several sexual partners, there is a high probability of cervical damage and the need for treatment.
Cervical erosion is dangerous, first of all, because it can become the basis for the development of cancerous neoplasms. In the presence of this disease, the risk of developing cancerous pathology increases sharply. Therefore, this pathology must be treated without fail. Treatment of cervical erosion with suppositories is determined by the size of the affected area. It should not exceed one to two centimeters. This is especially true for women who have not given birth.
There is an opinion that after childbirth the pathology will go away on its own. This is fundamentally wrong. Cervical erosion is not dangerous in itself, its consequences are more dangerous. In addition to oncology, it increases the likelihood of dysplasia, which can make a woman completely infertile. Therefore, it is better to treat it. If erosion is detected during pregnancy, it is better to undergo a course of treatment after childbirth, but not earlier than six months after the birth of the child.
Preparation for treatment of cervical erosion with suppositories
Before starting to solve the problem, the gynecologist must conduct laboratory and instrumental studies to determine the extent of the pathology. Preparation for the treatment of cervical erosion with suppositories includes the following activities:
- Analysis of the excision of a piece of pathologically transformed tissue of the body with subsequent microscopic examination to determine the nature of the ongoing process (biopsy).
- Blood diagnostics for syphilis and HIV.
- A study to determine whether a woman has a history of such serious diseases as herpes, hepatitis, mycoplasmosis, vulvar infection with trichomonas, human papillomavirus, and others.
- Colposcopy. Examination of the vulva, vaginal mucosa and cervix using a colposcope – a special medical device similar to a microscope.
- Analysis of the composition of vaginal microflora.
- Ultrasound examination of the pelvic organs (if necessary).
- Additional studies that the doctor prescribes to establish the real picture of the disease.
Only after receiving a real clinical picture and in the case of diagnosing small local erosions, can we state that preparation for the treatment of cervical erosion with suppositories is complete, and we can begin to stop the pathology.
How is cervical erosion treated with suppositories?
The drug method of suppressing pathology is one of the gentle ways to influence erosion. But it is used only in the case of a mild degree of the disease, when the process is in its infancy. It is necessary to treat erosion, because later it can cause infertility, or even degenerate into malignant neoplasms.
How is cervical erosion treated with suppositories? Before starting it, at any degree of pathology, it is primarily necessary to normalize the patient's condition. The complex of measures includes, if necessary: anti-inflammatory measures, methods of immunostimulation and normalization of metabolic processes, restoration of the menstrual cycle.
Only after the patient's condition has stabilized can one begin to directly treat cervical erosion with suppositories. Suppositories are used as a local antibacterial, antifungal or antiviral treatment. Vaginal suppositories act on erosion by contact. They promote accelerated healing of wounds and ulcers, and restoration of the integrity of the mucous membrane.
Vaginal suppositories have a number of advantages:
- Thanks to the soft texture and the base that spreads when heated, the suppositories evenly coat the mucous membrane with their active components.
- There is direct contact of the medicine with the affected area.
- The suppositories help to “wash out” pathogenic flora from the vagina, cleansing it.
- They do not injure the epithelium.
Answering the question: "How is cervical erosion treated with suppositories?", we can state that it is quite simple. The modern pharmacological market is ready to offer a wide range of different vaginal suppositories.
Treatment with sea buckthorn candles
Sea buckthorn suppositories are most often prescribed. They have no contraindications and can be used even during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
The scheme of their application is quite simple: one suppository is inserted vaginally twice a day (morning and evening). Due to the vitamins included in its composition, fatty acids such as stearic, palmitic, linoleic and oleic, sea buckthorn oil effectively tightens ulcers and cracks, stops the inflammatory process. The recommended course of treatment is about two weeks.
The only contraindication to the use of sea buckthorn oil is individual intolerance of the woman’s body.
Treatment of cervical erosion with Depantol suppositories
The medicine, having been freed from the protective shell, is used intravaginally. One suppository is carefully inserted into the vagina so as not to cause injury to the genitals. The procedure is repeated twice a day for seven to ten days. If medically necessary, the treatment course is extended to three weeks.
It is not recommended to use Depantol if the woman's body is hypersensitive to its components. During treatment with this drug, you cannot use toilet soap, since the components included in it are antagonists for Depantol.
Treatment with Hexicon suppositories
Hexicon effectively restores reparative properties, is an excellent anti-inflammatory agent, and at the same time stabilizes the vaginal microflora, and has no contraindications in its recommendations, except for hypersensitivity to its components. Hexicon suppositories are used similarly to the previous drugs intravaginally, one suppository in the morning and at night. The duration of treatment ranges from seven to ten days.
This medicine is used one suppository twice a day (morning and evening before bedtime). The recommended duration of treatment is from seven to ten days. If clinically necessary, the course of treatment can be extended to 20 days.
To prevent sexually transmitted infections, vaginal suppositories can be used prophylactically immediately after sexual intercourse, but no later than two hours after coitus.
This drug should not be used in case of dermatitis, individual intolerance to the components of the drug and a tendency to allergic reactions.
Livarol suppositories
The medicine is administered once a day. It is better to use vaginal suppositories before bedtime. In case of mild disease, three to five days of treatment will be enough, in case of severe disease – up to ten days.
Contraindications for the use of Livarol suppositories include pregnancy (especially the first trimester), breastfeeding, and hypersensitivity to the drug.
Clotrimazole suppositories
The vaginal suppository is inserted once a day at night, as deeply as possible. It is recommended to insert vaginal suppositories into the vagina while lying on your back, with your legs slightly bent. The course of treatment is six days.
This drug should be used with caution, only on the recommendation of a doctor, in the first trimester of pregnancy, in case of individual intolerance to the components of the drug, during breastfeeding.
Proctovaginal Phytore suppositories
A medicinal product created on a natural basis. Used as prescribed by a doctor. Usually once or twice a day. The course of treatment depends on the severity of the pathology. No obvious contraindications have been identified. The drug is not recommended for use only in case of individual intolerance to the components of the drug.
Suporon suppositories
The basis of the medicine is mineralized Tambukai mud (the composition includes ginseng, cocoa butter, propolis). The protocol for taking the drug is prescribed by the attending physician individually.
Intravaginal administration of suppositories lasts for 20-30 days, depending on the severity of the disease. Contraindication to the use of the drug is an allergic reaction to one of the components of Suporon suppositories.
It is fashionable to treat cervical erosion with suppositories made at home (traditional medicine recipes).
Treatment of cervical erosion with honey suppositories
To prepare them, you will need only natural honey that has already crystallized. This consistency is necessary so that it can be easily "sculpted". We give the honey the form of a vaginal suppository and put it in the freezer for a while. Such suppositories can be used without fear up to three times a day. They should not be used only if the woman is prone to allergic reactions to bee products.
During the treatment period, it is advisable to avoid sexual contact with a partner. As practice shows, treatment of cervical erosion with suppositories is quite effective, especially when used simultaneously with other methods of influencing the pathological area.
Contraindications to the treatment of cervical erosion with suppositories
Treatment with suppositories is not considered a conservative treatment. Most often, it is used as a healing factor before or after more radical measures: diathermocoagulation (cauterization with electric current), laser cauterization, chemical coagulation (impact on erosion with liquid nitrogen), and others. As an independent method of stopping the problem at home, treatment of cervical erosion with suppositories is not practiced, and independently taken measures can be dangerous and can cause more harm than good.
Justified contraindications to the treatment of cervical erosion with suppositories are large erosions, more than two centimeters, which already react poorly to medicinal effects and require more serious intervention.
Complications of treatment of cervical erosion with suppositories
After the diagnosis is established, only a gynecologist should prescribe a treatment method and a drug protocol, otherwise you can get a result opposite to the expected recovery. But some women are in no hurry to see a doctor, fearing complications from treating cervical erosion with suppositories. However, in reality, the negative consequences of drug therapy (for example, scars on the vaginal epithelium, which can complicate the bearing of a baby and the birth itself, etc.) are an insignificant defect that does not affect the quality of life of a woman. At the same time, only diathermocoagulation (cauterization with electric current) causes such trauma to the female organ. Other, more modern methods are gentle on the woman's body. The use of vaginal suppositories, in the future, practically does not harm the health and plans of a woman.
But untreated cervical pathology threatens much greater complications. The damaged mucous membrane weakens its protective functions, unable to cope with the incoming infection. This moment increases the risk of inflammatory diseases several times, the "gates" are open for fungal and viral infections. Initially, such a picture can lead to stage I infertility (when after a course of treatment a woman is able to restore her reproductive functions), with prolonged ignoring of the problem, infertility passes to stage II (when a woman will never be able to get pregnant).
Untreated erosion can be unpredictable during pregnancy. It can catalyze premature opening of the uterus, causing early labor or miscarriage, but the opposite can also happen - during obstetrics, the uterus opens with great difficulty, the opening process is accompanied by ruptures and bleeding. But one of the most dangerous complications is the degeneration of pathologically damaged epithelial cells into cancerous neoplasms, in other words, the development of uterine cancer is provoked.
Therefore, complications of treatment of cervical erosion with suppositories are "flowers", but if you do not undertake treatment, pathological "berries" will appear. And if the gynecologist insists on treatment, you should not postpone it!
Cost of treatment of cervical erosion with suppositories
The decision on which method to stop the pathology can only be made by an obstetrician-gynecologist. And the price of the course depends on which method is chosen. The cost of treating cervical erosion with suppositories includes the cost of the drug itself, multiplied by the amount necessary for the patient's complete recovery. If the institution the woman has applied to is state-owned, the calculations can be stopped there, but if the clinic is private, you will also have to pay for consultative services.
The price of vaginal suppositories on average fluctuates between 100 and 130 hryvnia per pack of 10 suppositories. Sea buckthorn oil-based suppositories will cost less – about 10 – 15 hryvnia per pack.
