What causes cervical erosion?

The occurrence of cervical erosion is mainly related to hormone levels, excessive cleaning, intrauterine contraceptive devices and other factors.

1. Hormone levels: Differences in individual hormone levels are also the cause of cervical erosion. As the estrogen level in the body changes, cervical erosion will occur. This is a common physiological reaction and patients generally have no special adverse symptoms.

2. Excessive cleaning: Some women may excessively pursue cleanliness and use high-concentration disinfectants to clean the vulva or vagina, which may destroy the acid-base balance in the vagina, reduce the vagina's own antibacterial effect, and thus induce cervical erosion.

3. Intrauterine device: Some women who have an intrauterine device installed may experience irritation to the cervix, which may increase the risk of cervical injury, expand the injury, and cause erosion.

Cervical erosion may also be related to sexual life and childbirth experience. Please note that cervical erosion is not always a pathological change. Sometimes it may just be a manifestation of cervical columnar epithelium ectopia, which requires the professional judgment of doctors. If women have any discomfort, they need to seek medical attention in time.

Note:

In daily life, women should pay more attention to sexual hygiene, avoid excessive cleaning, undergo regular gynecological examinations, and promptly treat cervical infections.
