Moxibustion cervical erosion argon

In modern gynecology constantly searches for new methods that can effectively deal with various pathologies. One of these techniques is the argon-plasma ablation.

argon moxibustion applied to cervical erosion. Argon plasma ablation is a non-contact method of cauterization. In the process of cauterization argon is not a traumatic factor, and the risk of complications after the intervention is virtually nonexistent.

According to statistics, every second woman found with benign process as cervical erosion. This medical term does not necessarily imply a pathology. In some cases, the occurrence of erosion can be considered a variant admissible norm.

Erosion is characterized by the appearance on the vaginal part of the cervix uteri spots, which may differ in various embodiments of sizes and shapes. The term includes such concepts as true erosion, congenital and acquired ectopia.

True erosion - is damage to the stratified squamous epithelium which covers the visible part of the cervix, called acidophilus. The defect appears as a wound on the smooth background of pale pink mucous.

The emergence of a true erosion caused by the following factors:

• traumatic;
• burn;
• infectious.

On the true surface erosion are usually different pathogens that cause inflammation. Nevertheless erosive surface of the variety is almost never detected. The duration of the wound is about two weeks, after which it automatically heals. However, in some cases, recovery of the squamous epithelium is going wrong. In such a case, a pseudo.

Acquired ectopia or pseudo - is a kind of substitution of one kind of cells other. It is known that the visible portion of a vaginal cervical normally covered stratified epithelium, which contains the flat cells. However, when restoring the damaged tissue area covered cylindrical cells lining the cervical canal.

Cervical or cervical canal is within the uterus. Due to produce mucus, pathogenic microflora can not enter the uterine cavity from the vagina. Cervical canal has a reddish hue and velvety surface.

The lower edge of the cervical canal forms an outer mouth. It is the depth of the transition zone, where it joins a cylindrical and flat epithelium. This area is called the transformation zone.

Pseudo require surgical treatment. Eliminating acquired ectopia is achieved through a variety of tactics cauterization, for example, using argon-ablation.

Sometimes during fetal genital formation zone adjacent to the vagina is covered cylindrical cells. However, as the reproductive system such ripening congenital ectopic gradually disappears, and the single-layer epithelium is shifted to the cervical canal.

In some cases, cervical defect is temporary in nature and occurs at a physiological reason.

The emergence of erosion can be observed during pregnancy or menopause, when hormonal fluctuations occur. The cervix responds to changes in estrogen levels the development of erosion.

Factors for and symptoms

The reasons for the formation of a defect are quite varied, which leads to the appearance of a particular type of erosion. In fact, erosion can occur at any age. Erosive spot diagnosed in young girls and older women.

The most common causes of erosion include:

• sexual initiation in adolescence;
• infections that may be caused by the presence of numerous partners or ignoring barrier contraception;
• the use of chemical spermicides;
• injuries of the cervical epithelium during abortions, childbirth, curettage;
• hormonal changes.

Some women credited to erosion various manifestations. Erosive defect of specific symptoms has not. Sometimes patients complain of an increase in mucous secretions, which are due to the functioning of ectopic glands. Perhaps the emergence of contact discharge during the inspection of a gynecologist or intimacy. When actively flowing allocation infections become purulent.

If a woman notices a change cycle duration and the nature of menstruation, she, pain, discharge with an unusual color and smell, it is necessary to pass inspection. In most cases, erosion is complicated by inflammatory processes.

However, signs of erosion is clearly visible when the doctor gynecological examination. True erosion constitutes a violation of the integrity of the epithelium, ie the wound. Treatment of such a defect is to eliminate inflammation.

Congenital erosion in treatment is not needed, if not diagnosed with an inflammatory process. If you joined an infection, the doctor prescribes the necessary preparations.

With respect to the acquired ectopia held cauterization. Modern gynecology has several methods of moxibustion:

• diathermy;
• laser vaporization;
• cryosurgery;
• chemical coagulation;
• Ablation with argon.

In recent years, high efficiency point in a method such as argon-cervical ablation.

Argon ablation

Cauterization of pseudo argon is considered one of the most effective methods of treatment. Argon ablation means exposure to the affected tissue with high frequency current that is delivered to the tissue through the cervical ionized argon - an inert gas. As a result of a non-contact method of pseudo-cells are destroyed as accurately as possible.

Before the cautery, in which ablation is used with argon, the patient is recommended inspection:

• simple and colposcopy expanded view;
• cytological diagnosis;
• smear on the definition of the vaginal microflora;
• when a biopsy oncological alertness;
• bakposev;
• PCR analysis for the detection of sexually transmitted infections.

The advantage of the method of "argon-cervical ablation" is the use of the treatment in nulliparous patients. This is due to the absence of trauma, the risk of postoperative complications, such as infection and scar deformity. In addition, burning argon can be used for any size of ectopia.

As a result of examination before cauterization tactic argon-plasma ablation is sometimes detected contraindications for treatment:

• infection;
• inflammatory processes;
• bleeding;
• pregnancy;
• dysplasia or malignant tumor, for example, the cervix.

Moxibustion with argon is carried out within the outpatient reception. For the duration of the ablation may take different amounts of time.

Ablation allows quickly enough to remove the affected cervical tissue erosion. Moxibustion argon different uniform. When is ablation, the physician is able to control the depth of the impact. When this fracture occurs within the pathological site. Argon ablation does not affect the healthy cervical tissue.

Unlike many other methods of cautery, argon ablation has a short recovery period. Especially in the process of cauterizing the wound is sterilized with argon, which eliminates the risk of joining the infection.

During the period of rehabilitation after ablation necessary to observe the following guidelines:

• highly undesirable lifting weights weighing more than three kilograms;
• physical activity should be moderate;
• taking a bath is necessary to replace a shower;
• at occurrence of bleeding it is desirable to use sanitary napkins, not tampons;
• sexual activity can be resumed after a follow-up visit a physician.

Despite the high efficiency and safety, argon-ablation is used infrequently.

This is due to the need to use specialist expensive equipment and availability of specific skills. Argon ablation is often used in non-medical settings.
