Does cervical erosion affect sexual life?

Cervical erosion is an old name, and now it is clinically called cervical columnar epithelium ectopia. Cervical columnar epithelium ectopia is not true erosion and generally does not affect sexual life, but it may cause contact bleeding after sexual life.

Cervical columnar epithelium ectopia belongs to the surface of the cervix. The squamous epithelium is affected by hormones, inflammation, etc., resulting in the replacement of the squamous epithelium on the surface of the cervix by columnar epithelium, showing an erosive appearance change. It is usually a normal physiological phenomenon, generally without obvious clinical symptoms, and does not affect sexual life. If no cervical lesions are found during cervical TCT and HPV examinations, no special treatment is generally required. Some women may experience contact bleeding during sexual intercourse. In this case, Chinese medicine suppositories, such as Baofukang suppositories, can be used for treatment. If contact bleeding occurs repeatedly, cervical physical therapy can also be considered, such as laser, microwave, freezing, etc.

Keep the vulva clean and dry every day, change and wash underwear frequently, and it is not recommended to have sexual intercourse during menstruation to avoid infection and various gynecological diseases such as cervicitis and endometritis.
