What causes cervical erosion? What are the examination items for cervical erosion in women?

We all know about the disease of cervical erosion in women, which is related to many living habits of women. So what are the specific reasons? What examination items should be done? Cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease. Cervical erosion will have an impact on conception and pregnancy to a large extent. According to the severity, women need to undergo relevant active treatment before conception. What are the causes of cervical erosion? What examinations should be done for cervical erosion? 1. Causes of cervical erosion 1. Frequent artificial abortions Some young women do not take proper safety measures for intimate matters before marriage, resulting in frequent artificial abortions, which causes damage to the cervix and makes it difficult to resist the invasion of bacteria, causing inflammation. Inflammation stimulates the secretion in women's bodies, and the cervix will form erosion if it is soaked in this secretion for a long time. In addition, gynecological surgeries such as cervical dilation and curettage can also damage the cervix. 2. Unhealthy sex life At present, young people generally accept premarital sex, and due to the lack of sexual knowledge, they will lead to unhealthy sex life. Young people are physically strong and think that high-intensity sex life is very stimulating, and sex more than 4 times a week can easily cause the disease. This is because the male genitals have been in contact with the female cervix for a long time, stimulating the cervix and putting great pressure on the cervix. In addition, if the male genitals are not cleaned well, more and more germs will be brought into the female body, which will cause the disease over time. In addition, too many sexual partners and too early sexual life are also reasons that cannot be underestimated. 3. Unhygienic sex life Women who have not had sex have little chance of germs entering the female body due to the protection of the hymen, and the vaginal environment is cleaner. Women who have had sex are relatively more likely to let germs stir up trouble because they do not have the guard of the hymen. Some men do not pay attention to the hygiene of their sex life. During the intimate process, germs will enter the female cervix with the male genitals, causing inflammation. In addition, women who already have this symptom will expand the area of ​​cervical erosion and cause deeper erosion. Here, it is recommended that women urge men to do necessary cleaning before intimacy for their own health. 4. Excessive cleaning Some women overreact to the hygiene of private parts and like to use cleaning solutions or soap to clean the vulva and vagina. In fact, this is just a psychological effect. The female vagina has a self-protection mode. Under the stimulation of estrogen, it produces acidic secretions, which can prevent bacterial growth. However, if it is cleaned with inappropriate solutions or soaps, it will destroy this protection mode, allowing bacteria to break through the siege and eventually damage the cervix. 5. Related to the menstrual cycle This disease is related to the menstrual cycle. Studies have shown that the prevalence of people with a menstrual cycle of more than 28 days has reached 85.55%, and the prevalence of people with a menstrual cycle of less than 20 days has reached 35.55%. 2. Inspection of cervical erosion 1. Conduct iodine experiments Using iodine to test is not only accurate, but also simple and convenient to operate, and has low cost. This method mainly involves applying 3%-5% acetic acid solution on the cervix, observing the reaction of the cervical epithelium with the naked eye, and if white lesions appear, samples can be taken from the area for inspection. 2. Gynecological examination: Many women will choose this method to determine whether they have the disease. The focus of the examination is on various aspects of the cervix, including its shape and size, texture, bleeding, whether the cervical canal is normal, etc. A detailed examination of the vagina, vulva, fallopian tubes, ovaries, etc. will also be performed to determine whether the woman has the disease. 3. Cervical biopsy: Doctors use this examination mainly to find out whether the patient has cervical cancer. 4. Cervical smear cytology: This method is relatively direct and very effective. It is a must-check item in gynecological examinations. 5. Colposcopy: This examination can make up for the shortcomings of naked eye observation and can detect potential lesions. This method can improve the accuracy of the test results by testing suspicious areas.
