Background Cervical erosion is identified by the existence of columnar cells on the ectocervix rather than on the squamous epithelium. Adolescent age, pregnancy, and hormonal contraception are all causes of erosion. Some doctors think erosion is a typical asymptomatic variation, while others believe it is caused by persistent cervicitis. Metaplastic columnar epithelium may cause a variety of symptoms such as vaginal discharge, leukorrhea, postcoital bleeding, pelvic discomfort, and dyspareunia. Laser ablation, microwave ablation, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, herbal treatments, and cryosurgery have all been reported as therapeutic options. Aim Evaluating the therapeutic effect of applying an autologous PRP in cervical erosion versus chemical cautery with silver nitrate. Patients and methods Randomized controlled clinical study on 100 patients at the outpatient clinic of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University Hospitals. A total of 50 patients was assigned as the PRP group), the study group, while the other was the silver nitrate group. Follow-up visits occurred on the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10tht, and 12th week posttreatment for the lesion size changes, symptom relief, postprocedure discomfort, pain, and long-term complications. Results PRP and silver nitrate are now being used to treat symptomatic patients with cervical erosion. Because it resulted in a faster tissue healing time and fewer complications, autologous PRP has the potential to replace alternative unpleasant treatment options such as cautery, with promising results for inflamed and injured cervical tissue with erosion repair. Conclusion PRP shows no immunogenic difficulty or ethical matters as autologous. It stops damage to the cervix and hence prevention from cervical cancer.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
