What causes cervical erosion in women?

Cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease. It is a manifestation of inflammation of the female cervix. Once suffering from cervical erosion, the female's leucorrhea will increase, the color of the leucorrhea will turn yellow, and the leucorrhea will have a distinct odor. There will be no obvious pain at the beginning. Once the disease develops seriously, it will not only cause pain, but also greater harm. So what are the causes of cervical erosion? First, how is cervical erosion caused? There are two different types of cells in the cervix. The squamous epithelial cells are close to the vagina, and the columnar epithelial cells are close to the uterus. The two epithelial cells are different in appearance. In the central part, the part of the cervix that looks a bit like "erosion" is the appearance covered by the columnar epithelium, while the cervix that is relatively smooth on the outside is the part of the cervix covered by squamous epithelial cells. Columnar epithelial cells and squamous epithelial cells are in a dynamic equilibrium state. The area where the two cells intersect is medically named "squamo-columnar junction". The squamosal junction is easily affected by estrogen. Before puberty, women's ovarian function is not perfect, estrogen is low, and the columnar epithelium is closer to the inside. After menstruation, the columnar epithelium is affected by estrogen and develops more toward the outside, so there are more symptoms similar to "erosion". After menopause, the estrogen level in women's bodies decreases, and the columnar epithelium begins to retreat to the inside. During the examination, it will be found that the "erosion" disappears. Therefore, in essence, cervical erosion is actually the eversion of the columnar epithelium. Second, what causes severe cervical erosion? First of all, unhealthy sex life is the primary cause of severe cervical erosion. Most gynecological diseases are prone to occur in married women who have sex. Some unmarried women are protected by the barrier of the hymen, the microecological environment in the vagina is in balance, and the flora also survives in a normal environment. Even if pathogens invade, cervical erosion rarely occurs. However, once having sex, the female vagina is in an open stage. During sex, the penis and cervix have direct contact. If you do not pay attention to sexual hygiene, it is very likely that the bacteria will be directly brought into the vagina, thereby infecting the cervix and causing chronic cervicitis. The most common manifestation of chronic cervicitis is cervical erosion. Secondly, multiple sexual partners, high intensity of sexual life, and sexual life during menstruation are also causes that cannot be ignored for severe cervical erosion. Thirdly, excessive cleaning is also the culprit. In order to keep their private parts clean, many women often use highly concentrated lotions, but they do not know that this will not only fail to guarantee health, but also cause bacterial invasion because the acid-base balance of the private parts is destroyed. Experts point out that cervical erosion, especially severe cervical erosion, has a great impact on women's health. Therefore, women must pay attention to this disease and actively cooperate with treatment. At the same time, cervical erosion can be prevented in life. Women should have a healthy sex life; do not use too concentrated lotions to clean their private parts. If they are healthy women, just use water; even sick women should take medicine under the guidance of a doctor. Third, what are the causes of cervical erosion? 1. Cervical infection is not treated in time, forming chronic inflammation. 2. The difference in individual hormone levels is the root cause of cervical erosion. Especially for women in pregnancy and taking oral contraceptives, cervical erosion is prone to occur. 3. Unclean sexual life: During sexual life, the penis and cervix are in direct contact. If men do not pay attention to sexual hygiene, they can directly bring bacteria into the vagina, infect the cervix, and form chronic cervicitis. 4. Multiple artificial abortions: Repeated artificial abortions can cause varying degrees of cervical damage, giving bacteria an opportunity to take advantage. Due to the stimulation of inflammation, local secretions increase, and the cervix is ​​immersed in inflammatory secretions for a long time, which will cause erosion. 5. Excessive cleaning: Some women often use a high concentration of disinfectant to flush the vagina, which will make the ecological balance in the vagina, hinder the growth of normal flora, and reduce its inhibitory effect on bacteria, and eventually cause erosion. 6. Intrauterine contraceptive device: The tail of the intrauterine contraceptive device stimulates the cervix, which is one of the reasons why many women with intrauterine contraceptive devices are prone to cervical erosion. If there is a small wound on the cervix, the friction with the tail during sexual intercourse will increase the wound, which is also a cause of erosion.
