When a woman appears between menses, anointing brownish discharge or in usual whites there are bloody streaks of blood, this may indicate that the cervix is cervix. Symptoms of bleeding from the cervix can not be ignored, because it is a signal of serious processes that can subsequently lead to serious consequences.
Causes of the bleeding from the cervix
In medicine, bloody discharge is produced that has arisen because of background and precancerous diseases, medical manipulations and because of cervical cancer.
- Among the common background diseases of the cervix uteri - ectopia, erosion, polyps. All of them are often diagnosed in women of childbearing age. If dysplastic changes in the epithelial layer are found during the examination, this indicates a precancerous condition. Background diseases occur due to disruption of the hormonal background, inflammation and mechanical damage. Their list is very extensive, as can be seen by referring to the International Classification of Diseases, and looking for codes on the ICD-10. Identify and treat such diseases is necessary, because in the future it can cause health problems, including cancer.
- Bleeding caused by surgical manipulation and mechanical damage to the cervix. The most common outpatient manipulation, which is performed to treat cervical disease, remains moxibustion. If the cervix is crooked after cauterization, this means that the vessels of the cervix have been damaged due to manipulation. For the same reasons, he coats after a biopsy of the cervix. Also, the cervix is often injured due to installation, or when removing the spiral, during abortion and during labor. In addition, such trauma is associated with medical examinations or sexual intercourse.
- Bleeding in cervical cancer. There are several versions of the development of cervical cancer: due to changes in the hormonal background, due to infection with human papillomaviruses and due to mechanical damage.
Pathogenesis
The pathogenesis of this disease in almost 95% of cases is characterized by the degeneration of multilayered planar epithelium. In other cases, the cancerous tumor is formed from the cylindrical epithelial layer. The first signs of the disease may coincide with the signs of processes that are innocuous. That is why cervical cancer is so dangerous: late diagnosis has a much less favorable prognosis for the development of the disease. For the diagnosis should take into account the history: multiple births and abortions, trauma, background diseases. For an accurate diagnosis, a biopsy of the cervix is crucial. In the event that the presence of a cancerous tumor is confirmed, the cone of the cervix is performed, during which the cervical transformation zone is removed, as well as its partial channel. It should be noted that in some cases, the cervix is cervical after conization: the primary effects appear after the operation, and the secondary effects can plague within a few weeks.
If the cervix is covered during pregnancy, this can not be ignored, and it is immediately necessary to consult a doctor. In about half of cases, such symptoms carry no threat, they pass on their own and without complications for the baby and mother. In other cases, spotting can indicate a miscarriage, placenta previa and other dangerous pathologies.
Often such symptoms are associated with several causes. For example, because of the birth of a child, mechanical damage to the neck is inevitable, which can cause fungal or viral infection. They, in turn, are the cause of inflammation and hinder the regeneration of tissues.
Diagnostics of the bleeding from the cervix
Diagnosis of bleeding from the cervix includes:
- Examination with special mirrors, with which you can determine the size and shape of the neck, the presence of deformation and ruptures, the condition of the mucosa.
- Analysis of smears on flora and oncocells, analysis for infection.
- Studying the cervix with the help of a colposcope. For dysplasia and the early form of oncological diseases, changes that are not determined by routine examination are characteristic, but they are detected with the help of a colposcope. The colposcope makes it possible to study the mucous membrane under multiple magnification, and the samples - to find violations and make an accurate sampling of the material for the cytological analysis.
- As a method of instrumental diagnosis, cytological research is often used. During it, smears taken from the surface of the cervical canal are examined under a microscope for the presence of oncocells. Analysis to an accuracy of 95% allows you to diagnose cancer. Inflammatory processes in the cervix can create difficulties for cytologists in conducting differential diagnosis. The results of cytology due to inflammation can prevent the detection of cancer cells, if the material is dominated by bacterial flora and leukocytes, and the epithelial cells are at least completely absent. If an inflammation is detected, it is first necessary to eliminate it, and only then to carry out a cytological analysis.
- Ultrasound examination will determine the presence of cysts, fibroids, tumors.
- Blood test for hormones.
How to examine?
Treatment of the bleeding from the cervix
Therapy is entirely determined by the causes that caused bleeding from the cervix.
But we can outline the key principles of treatment:
- Cessation of bleeding: with drugs (hormones and drugs that stop blood), surgical treatment;
- Taking medications that will get rid of bacterial or fungal infections; (if they were found during surveys);
- General strengthening therapy (taking medications containing iron and vitamins);
- Physiotherapy.
Homeopathy
Homeopathy is by no means a panacea. Traditional medicine is skeptical about the treatment with homeopathic medicines. But in some cases, practice shows that nevertheless such drugs can be effective. If the cervix is krovit because of polyps, you can undergo a course of treatment with phytotampins.
Special phytotampones contain components of medicinal plants that are able to inhibit the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, promote tissue regeneration, normalize the level of hormones and metabolism. Manufacturers of these phytotampins indicate that they help detach and remove dead cells from the uterine cavity, thus eliminating the endometrium from the polyps. Tampons are used intravaginally.
To get rid of polyps, it is recommended to take Tuya-6 (seven pellets daily before bedtime) and Acidum Nitrikum 12 (a similar regimen). The course of treatment continues until full recovery - about three months). If the cause of spotting is erosion of the cervix, Kali bichromicum, Calendula, Carbo animalis, Hydrastis are recommended.
Alternative treatment
In addition to traditional treatment, alternative means can be used. But, in any case, before the turn comes to use alternative recipes, it is necessary with the help of a specialist to find out the reasons for the excreta. And in any case do not engage in self-treatment, especially if the cervix strongly covers the uterus.
- Treatment of polyps.
- In the morning, bake an onion in the oven, peel it off and chop it into a gruel. Using a prepared clean cotton thin fabric, make a tampon and insert into the inside of the vagina.
- After 12 hours, change this swab to another one - with a mixture in equal parts of the crushed raw onion and crushed laundry soap.
- Replace with tampons with similar composition the next morning, and also in the afternoon.
- Before going to bed, take fresh cottage cheese, add the juice of an aloe leaf and a spoonful of honey to it and cook with it a tampon, which is then inserted for the night inside the vagina.
- Replace the tampon with a new one with the same composition in the morning, lunch and evening.
- If cervical erosion cervical, you can make a tampon with eucalyptus oil, which is inserted into the vagina before bed. Treatment is conducted for at least 10 days.
- Another proven means of erosion - tampons with linseed oil. To do this, you need to fold the folded gauze in linseed oil and insert a tampon for the night.
- Sea-buckthorn suppository will help restore and heal damaged cervical tissue.
On which method you would not stop your choice, you need to consult a doctor before treatment.
Herbal Treatment
Such treatment is recommended as an aid to traditional therapy.
- The decoction of St. John's wort will help to eliminate the inflammatory process and will promote the regeneration of the mucosa. To prepare the broth, take 1 tablespoon. Herb St. John's wort and boil it in 200 ml of water for several minutes on low heat. Strain broth drink 100 ml in the morning on an empty stomach.
- To heal damage to the mucous membrane of the cervix helps juice of fresh nettle. For this, it is necessary to rinse 5-6 sprigs of fresh nettle, grind them and squeeze juice from them using a thin tissue. A swab dipped in juice injected into the vagina for at least two hours. The course can be continued until complete healing.
- Eliminate the lesions that have arisen against the background of erosion and restore the microflora will help the rhizome of fatty fat. To prepare the broth you need to take 3 tablespoons. Roots on a glass of hot water. Ingredients boil over low heat for 30 minutes, and then let it infuse for 24 hours in a thermos bottle. With the help of a douche douche overnight. The course of treatment must be continued for at least 14 days.
- Improve the condition of the cervical tissue will help decoction from the bed. To make it, you need to take 3 tablespoons. Dried flowers and 300 ml of water. Boil the broth for 5 minutes, then let cool and drain. Broth drink 100 ml in the morning and before going to bed. The course of treatment lasts 10 days.
Prevention
- timely treatment of hormonal imbalance, infectious diseases and inflammatory processes of female genital organs;
- healthy lifestyle;
- regular examination at the gynecologist (every six months);
- use of contraceptives if pregnancy is not included in your plans (abortion causes serious damage to health);
- attentive attitude to the monthly (keeping the calendar, where indicated, duration, regularity and abundance of secretions).
If the cervix is crooked, and this is not related to the monthly cervix, this signal must be reacted. The subtle organization of the genitourinary system of a woman is susceptible to any changes, and the secretions are notified of the problems of the woman herself.
