Abstract

Women undergo various physiological changes due to functions such as conception and childbirth, often accompanied by certain pathological conditions. While not all of these conditions pose lifethreatening risks, some can be troublesome. Cervical erosion is one such condition where the squamous epithelium of the ectocervix is replaced by columnar epithelium, continuous with the endocervix.[1] This condition requires special attention, as leaving it untreated may lead to infertility and increase the risk of malignancy. In modern medicine, treatment options for cervical erosion include cauterization, cryosurgery, and laser vaporization. However, these methods are associated with side effects such as secondary infertility, vaginal bleeding, stenosis, accidental burns, infections, and more. Therefore, there is a need for a safe and effective alternative treatment.
