What causes cervical erosion? Five reasons can easily lead to cervical erosion

In our subconscious, cervical erosion has always been regarded as a disease, but experts emphasize that strictly speaking it is not a disease, and most women are likely to be infected with cervical erosion. So what causes cervical erosion?

1. Repeated artificial abortions:

Repeated artificial abortion can cause varying degrees of cervical damage, giving bacteria an opportunity to take advantage and cause cervicitis. Due to the stimulation of inflammation, local secretions increase, and the cervix will cause erosion if it is immersed in inflammatory secretions for a long time.

2. Multiple sexual partners:

Frequent sex and sex during menstruation are also causes of cervical erosion that cannot be ignored. Multiple sexual partners are extremely likely to cause cross-infection, making cervical erosion very complicated and the difficulty of treatment is increasing.

3. Excessive self-cleaning:

The vagina is often flushed with disinfectant solutions of high concentrations, which affects the growth of normal vaginal flora, reduces its ability to inhibit pathogens, and can also cause varying degrees of cervical epithelial damage, ultimately leading to erosion.

4. Unclean sexual life:

Failure to pay attention to sexual hygiene can directly bring bacteria into the vagina and infect the cervix; for women who already have cervical erosion, it can aggravate cervical inflammation, expand the erosion area, and in severe cases, cause bleeding during sexual intercourse.

5. Menstruation lasts too long:

Cervical erosion is related to the menstrual period and the number of days it lasts: the prevalence rate is 81.80% for women with a menstrual period of ≤20 days, and ≤43.81% for women with a menstrual period of ≥20 days; therefore, the possibility of cervical erosion will increase in women with a menstrual period that is too short or lasts too long.
