Causes of cervical erosion

Causes of cervical erosion:

Cervical erosion clinically refers to cervical columnar epithelial ectopia, which is caused by changes in estrogen levels in the body.

Cervical columnar epithelial ectopia is a common physiological phenomenon in which the columnar epithelium in the cervical canal orifice moves toward the cervical canal outlet due to the effect of estrogen in the body. This disease affects the pH value and microenvironment of the cervical canal and vagina, causing the columnar epithelium to become thinner and causing redness and macroscopic erosion in the cervix. Patients generally have no special symptoms. Infection or other stimulation may cause local cervical inflammation, accompanied by increased secretions and vulvar itching. Under the advice of a professional doctor, patients can use cervical exfoliated cytology and human papillomavirus testing to identify the cause.

Patients with cervical column epithelial ectopia can be improved through electrocoagulation, cryotherapy, and laser treatment. In daily life, they should also pay attention to the cleanliness and dryness of the vulva. Avoid using sanitary napkins for too long during menstruation. Underwear should be made of soft and breathable fabrics. Eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as apples, tomatoes, beef, etc. Avoid eating spicy and irritating foods such as peppers, garlic, and ginger. In order to avoid affecting the recovery of the disease, if there are other discomfort symptoms in the body, you should go to the hospital in time.
