I. What is cervical erosion? Cervical erosion is not an inflammatory disease, it is an outdated term that has now been renamed “cervical columnar epithelial ectasia”, which is formed when the columnar epithelium (also known as glandular epithelium) in the cervical canal migrates to the surface of the cervix to replace the squamous epithelium, because the squamous epithelium is smooth and is replaced by the columnar epithelium showing rough red erosion-like changes. So what used to be mistaken for cervical erosion is actually an illusion, not real erosion, a physiological phenomenon that exists in many people and is not a pathology. The actual cervical cavity is a very good place to be. Some people with “cervical erosion” have symptoms such as bleeding after intercourse, excessive leucorrhea, and difficulty getting pregnant, mainly related to the area of columnar epithelium displaced to the surface of the cervix. For mild to moderate cervical erosion with normal cervical cytology and no symptoms, no treatment is needed. Severe cervical erosion can be treated with Povidon suppositories for 2 to 3 months to relieve discomfort and prevent precancerous lesions. For women with severe “cervical erosion” who have bleeding during intercourse or have difficulty getting pregnant, it is recommended to treat before getting pregnant because the columnar epithelium is more fragile than the squamous epithelium, and the large area of columnar epithelium exposed on the surface of the cervix is prone to infection, and the inflammatory factors produced by it may reduce the probability of conception. The main treatment is physical therapy, such as radiofrequency, microwave and freezing. Physical therapy usually requires a recovery period of at least three months, during which intercourse is not allowed. The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these. Is “celiac disease” related to cervical cancer? The two are not necessarily related, but regular cervical cancer screening (including cervical cytology (TCT) and human papillomavirus (HPV) testing) should be done with or without celiac disease, because cervical precancerous lesions need to be treated, which is also an important tool for early diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer. Does human papillomavirus (HPV) infection necessarily lead to cervical cancer? Many women will experience HPV infection after having sex, but most of them are transient and can be cleared by autoimmunity, only some of them will be persistently infected. Only high-risk HPV infection lasting for 10-20 years is likely to become cancerous, and it is a gradual process, initially only as precancerous lesions, which can be treated very well, so as long as we pay attention to regular screening, we will have enough time to find out what is happening and deal with it in time. If the cervical cytology (TCT) result is normal, no special treatment is needed, and virology and cytology tests can be done again after one year.
