In former years. the treatment of chronic cervicitis consisted of the application of such antiseptics or caustic chemicals. Such local applications are quite ineffective. The effective treatment of chronic cervicitis is made by physical destruction of the infected abnormal epithelium by electric cautery or cryosurgery. After destruction of the infected abnormal cervical epithelium, there is often complication of delayed bleeding or spotting from the cauterized area. It takes 3 months or more until resulting in complete healing after therapy.
This study was done to see the effect of estrogen administration to cervical electric cautery. Twenty five patients of chronic cervicitis were treated by electric cautery and intramuscular injection of prolonged effecting estrogen(Depofemin 5 mg, Handok). The other group of 27 patients of chronic cervicitis were treated only by electric cautery. The results were as followings:
1. The group of 25 patients who had treatment of electric cautery and injection of prolonged effecting estrogen; there were 5 patients(20%) who had spotting. The group of 27 patients who had only electric cautery: there were 13 patients (48%) who had bleeding (p2. The group of 25 patients who had the treatment of electric cautery and injection of prolonged affecting estrogen: complete healing was noted from 22 patients(88%) within 8 weeks after therapy. The group of 27 patients who had only electric cautery: complete healing was noted from 16 patients (59.2%) (p<0.005).
