Will taking birth control pills cause cervical erosion?

Clinically, cervical erosion generally refers to cervical columnar epithelial ectopia. Taking contraceptive pills generally leads to cervical columnar epithelial ectopia, so you should be careful not to take the medicine without authorization.

Common contraceptives in clinical practice generally include levonorgestrel tablets, levonorgestrel enteric-coated tablets, drospirenone ethinyl estradiol tablets, etc. The above drugs usually contain more sex hormones, which will lead to increased sex hormone levels in the body after use. Under the action of sex hormones, the cervical columnar epithelium may be everted and may move outward to the cervical vagina, forming ectopia of the cervical columnar epithelium.

If it is just a simple cervical columnar epithelial ectropion, it generally will not have a negative impact on health and does not require special intervention. However, if you do not pay attention to maintaining good personal hygiene, it is easy to be combined with cervicitis. Patients may experience symptoms such as vaginal itching and increased secretions. If the above symptoms occur, you can take oral medications such as Women's Inflammation Capsules, Gynecological Qianjin Tablets, and Anti-cervical Inflammation Tablets under the guidance of a doctor.

To benefit your health, you should be careful not to take birth control pills frequently. You can prevent pregnancy by wearing condoms or placing an intrauterine contraceptive device.
