Chronic cervicitis does not directly cause HPV infection, but chronic cervicitis increases the risk of HPV infection. 1. Chronic cervicitis is a common inflammatory disease of the reproductive organs in women of childbearing age, mostly developed from acute cervicitis. Long-term chronic cervical inflammation can easily lead to a decline in the cervical mucosal defense ability, cervical squamous epithelium thinning, decreased immunity. 2. HPV is a kind of spherical DNA virus, which has strong invasive ability to the squamous epithelial cells of human skin and mucosa. In summary, the risk of HPV infection is easily increased when the cervical function defense ability decreases. If you suffer from chronic cervical inflammation, it is recommended that you seek timely medical attention, standardize treatment, and strengthen physical exercise to reduce the risk of HPV infection.
