Is mild cervical erosion important?

Cervical erosion refers to ectopia of the cervical columnar epithelium. Mild ectopia of the cervical columnar epithelium is generally not a concern and usually does not require treatment.

Mild cervical columnar epithelial ectopia is affected by estrogen in the body. The columnar epithelium in the cervical canal moves outside the cervical canal. Because the columnar epithelium is relatively thin, the subcutaneous stroma is red, and it looks like erosion to the naked eye, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. Women with mild cervical columnar epithelial ectopia usually have no discomfort symptoms, so it’s okay. During this period, they can do a good job of private hygiene care, which will not affect women’s health.

If women do not take good personal care or stay in the room too much, they may be complicated with cervicitis, which will cause swelling and congestion of the cervical mucosa, vulvar itching, and increased vaginal discharge. When the symptoms require treatment, vaginal suppositories such as Xiaomi suppositories, metronidazole suppositories, and Women's Kang suppositories can be used under the guidance of a doctor.

In daily life, we should develop good hygiene habits, keep the vulva clean, and clean the private parts regularly with warm water, which is good for women's health.
