Hi Thanks for posting on HCM Cervical erosion or ectropion is a normal condition that occurs when the squamous epithelial cells grow out of the cervix and form an inflamed area that looks eroded and infected. If an infection is present, your doctor can prescribe an antibiotic. Otherwise, giving your body time to heal naturally is the best treatment for cervical erosion. If you chose to have treatment it is usually given at a colposcopy clinic and will be done using cautery, which is where the glandular cells are sealed off to stop them from bleeding.Three different treatment options are: -The use of an electric current (known as diathermy) to cauterise the top layer of the cervix and it is done under local anaesthetic; this is the most common method used -Cryocautery which uses a cold spray to cauterise the glandular cells -The use of silver nitrate to cauterise the glandular cells The last two options do not require local anesthesia.You may be more comfortable with them. Just discuss it with you Doctor.All methods will however produce good results. Hope this will help Wish you good health
