Does cervical erosion affect fertility?

1. Cervical erosion clinically refers to cervical columnar epithelial ectopia. Cervical columnar epithelial ectopia generally does not affect fertility. After cervical columnar epithelial ectopia occurs, there is no need to be overly anxious and keep the vulva clean.

2. Cervical columnar epithelial ectopy is a physiological change. Under the influence of hormone levels in the body, the columnar epithelium in the cervical canal will move to the outer opening of the cervical canal. Because the columnar epithelium is thin and its stroma is red, it looks like erosion to the naked eye, but it is not real erosion, but a normal physiological phenomenon. Women usually do not feel any physical discomfort. Cervical columnar epithelial ectopy will not affect women's health and fertility. After this happens, there is no need to be overly anxious and keep the vulva clean. With the change of hormone levels in the body, this phenomenon will be alleviated.

3. If women do not do a good job of cleaning the vulva and preventing inflammation and infection, they may experience symptoms such as vulvar itching and increased vaginal discharge, but this will not affect their fertility, because cervical epithelial ectopic disease will not affect the menstrual cycle or the amount of menstruation. If inflammation and infection are combined, physical methods such as electrocautery and laser therapy can be used to treat the disease, which can promote recovery.

4. Women should keep their vulva clean in daily life, wash the vulva area regularly with warm water, and changing underwear regularly is good for health.
