Cervical erosion is a manifestation of chronic cervicitis, which mainly refers to the complete peeling off of the mucous membrane of the cervix in the vagina, exposing a rough tissue surface at the bottom, like an ulcer, without epithelial covering. Usually a circle of varying size, or a red zone of irregular extent covered by a single layer of columnar epithelium is visible on the surface of the cervix inside the vagina, with capillary congestion and edema underneath, glandular atresia, accumulation of mucous or purulent secretions, often with a ruddy and uneven surface, which is known as cervical erosion. Cervical erosion is a common and frequent disease in women. Especially in married women who have given birth, cervical erosion can cause increased leucorrhea, leucorrhea with blood or bleeding after sexual intercourse, often with back pain, menstrual disorders, infertility and so on. If severe cervical erosion is not treated, a few women may develop precancerous lesions of the cervix or cervical cancer. The actual fact is that women should have regular gynecological checkups, and those with serious cervical erosion should be treated promptly and thoroughly, but they should also be aware of the five major killers that lead to cervical erosion in their lives. The first killer: unclean sex Unmarried women due to the barrier protection of the hymen, the vaginal micro-ecological environment is in balance, even if there are germs invasion, it is difficult to make waves, so rarely occur cervical erosion. Once you have sex, the vagina is relatively in an “open” state. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things. Therefore, be sure to convince men to cleanse their external genitalia before having sex. The second killer: repeated abortions More importantly, repeated abortions can cause varying degrees of cervical damage, giving germs the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and trigger cervicitis. Due to the stimulation of inflammation, local secretions increase, the cervix is impregnated with inflammatory secretions for a long time will cause erosion. Therefore, women of childbearing age must do a good job of contraception and avoid multiple abortions to prevent the occurrence of cervical erosion. The light cervical erosion is often clinically asymptomatic, some patients can appear increased leucorrhea, leucorrhea can be milky mucus or yellow purulent, sometimes there can be bloody leucorrhea or cervical contact bleeding, generally does not affect fertility, so women do not have to worry too much. The third killer: excessive cleaning Some women are very hygienic, but lack the necessary knowledge and often douche the vagina with a large concentration of disinfectant solution, which is counterproductive. This not only affects the growth of normal vaginal flora and reduces its role in inhibiting germs, but can also cause various degrees of cervical epithelial damage and eventually erosion. Therefore, the correct way to cleanse the vagina is to wash the vulva properly and not to douche the vagina if not necessary, so as to maintain the natural defense of the female reproductive tract and not to disturb the ecological balance of the vagina and prevent bacteria from making waves.
