What is cervical erosion?

What women need to know is that cervical erosion is a common disease with a high incidence rate, which can reach 40% to 60% among married women. Therefore, many female friends will feel panic when they hear the word erosion in their lives.

What women need to know is that cervical erosion itself is not an inflammation, and it is mainly divided into pseudo-erosion and inflammatory erosion. For example, pseudo-erosion actually occurs under physiological conditions, such as women's puberty and pregnancy, which is easy to get. It is mainly due to the increase in estrogen levels, the proliferation of the cervical epithelium and its outward movement. The external cervical opening can be seen to be red and granular, so pseudo-erosion does not need treatment. In addition, if it is inflammatory erosion, in many cases it is caused by untreated or incompletely treated acute cervicitis. The main symptoms of cervical erosion are increased vaginal discharge, which may be accompanied by lumbar pain.

Patients with cervical erosion actually need the help of a doctor to distinguish between true and false erosion. If it is false erosion, no treatment is needed, but if there is ectopia, eversion, or hyperplasia of the cervical columnar epithelium, it is inflammatory at this time. If it is more serious, timely treatment is required. Current treatment methods mainly include drug therapy, physical therapy, and surgical treatment.

In short, for diseases like cervical erosion, whether it is false or inflammatory, you need to pay attention. If it is a false erosion patient, you also need to pay attention to annual cervical cancer and precancerous lesions screening in your life. If it is inflammatory, you need to pay attention and treat it in time because there is still a possibility of cancer.
