What distinguishes regular cervical erosion of innate?
Congenital cervical erosion is considered to be a natural process occurring in the body of a young woman or girl. Uterus - the main organ of the female reproductive system consists of 3 main parts: the cervix, isthmus and uterus. The cervix looks like a cylinder with a channel inside which connects it to the uterine cavity. Channel cervix (ie cervical canal) from the inside is lined with a thin layer coating the unique fabric called columnar epithelium. This protects the fabric against bacteria, physical and chemical damage. The epithelium is 2 types: cylindrical - inside neck and flat - out.
Initially, a newborn girl cylindrical epithelium is located outside. However, with age, he gradually moved into in the normal physiological development. There are cases when this process is slowed down, due to which a woman has cervical condition is maintained as in girls. To this effect a few reasons: age, heredity, hormones. Upon detection of this pathology doctor makes a diagnosis - congenital erosion.

Erosion: we treat?
Most congenital cervical erosion treated is not required, as it passes on their own after hormonal shake.
This usually happens during pregnancy, puberty in girls, or after birth. In the body, the natural processes occur which lead cervix in normal state.
So do not be surprised if the doctor will claim that erosion better not to touch before delivery. It is not at risk to the fetus during pregnancy and often resolves.
Among the methods of treatment of congenital erosion is considered to be the most rude moxibustion. Before delivery is the treatment used is highly undesirable, as it may adversely affect the elasticity of the cervix and the process of disclosure. As a result, these natural moxibustion points are violated.
When such a phenomenon in women is not accompanied by inflammation or other infections or illnesses occur annually rather a gynecologist. If you notice inflammation or infection doctor will do the necessary examination, and then prescribe appropriate treatment.
In addition to the examination and consulting a doctor, you should regularly take a smear on sowing and infections (chlamydia, ureaplasma, HPV, myco-plasma, etc.) And vaginal flora. But today the main procedure that allows an accurate diagnosis - examination of the cervix under a microscope, that is colposcopy. It allows you to see the exact clinical picture.
Be especially careful to pregnant women who have HPV detected because of erosion can occur degeneration.
In this case, treatment of erosion lay before birth, her conduct surveillance and provide the safest way to treat infections. The fact that the infection can bring both mother and child are much more harmful than the elimination of prenatal congenital cervical erosion.
