Journal of lower genital tract disease(2024)
摘要
OBJECTIVES:To assess the effectiveness of a topical treatment for cervical ectropion with vaginal ovules containing aqueous extract of Triticum vulgare .
METHODS:Prospective observational cohort study conducted between November 2020 and November 2022 at the colposcopy clinics of 2 different hospitals. Sexually active patients with a colposcopic diagnosis of cervical ectropion, awaiting ablative procedure, were included in the study and prescribed medical therapy with vaginal T. vulgare ovules (group 1) or wait-and-see therapy (group 2). At both enrollment and 2-month follow-up, a symptomatologic evaluation recording the intensity of postcoital bleeding, leucorrhea, and dyspareunia was performed with a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) questionnaire, and a colposcopic examination was performed, calculating the size of the ectropion area.
RESULTS:A total of 116 patients (58 in group 1 and 58 in group 2) were included. Topical treatment with vaginal ovules containing aqueous extract of T. vulgare for 2 months resulted in significant decrease of symptoms related to cervical ectropion and significant reduction of the size of the ectropion area.
CONCLUSIONS:Our results support the efficacy of topical treatment with vaginal ovules containing aqueous extract of T. vulgare for symptomatic cervical ectropion; our study also suggests that expectant management, despite being widely practiced, seems to lead to a worsening of the natural history of ectropion.
