Do women need treatment for cervical erosion? Women should beware of the five symptoms of cervical erosion

The so-called "cervical erosion" is a fine-grained red area of ​​the cervix outside the cervix. It used to be called "cervical erosion". Its "comminuted" surface is covered by a single cervical columnar epithelium, and its lower stromal surface is red, but it is not true. True erosion pathology refers to epithelial descent and collapse.

In fact, the term "cervical erosion" has been abandoned abroad, but it has been renamed "cervical columnar epithelium ectopia".

Since the columnar epithelium of the cervical canal has low resistance, pathogens can easily invade and develop inflammation. It is worth noting for clinicians and patients that under some normal physiological conditions, such as puberty, pregnancy or oral contraceptives, due to the increase in estrogen levels, the cervical columnar epithelium proliferates, the original squamous-columnar epithelial junction moves outward, and the cervix becomes covered with columnar epithelium. Therefore, it can be seen that the external cervix is ​​red and finely granular, which looks like "smashed", which is actually physiological cervical "crushing".

When estrogen levels drop, the columnar epithelium can return to the cervical canal, the cervix will return to the squamous epithelium, and the so-called "cervical erosion" will naturally "heal". Therefore, this "cervical erosion" does not require treatment, and it is hoped that clinicians will no longer use the diagnosis of "cervical erosion" to avoid misleading patients.

Treatment is only needed if there is inflammation or precancerous changes in the cervix, such as:

1. Increased leucorrhea is mucopurulent, with vulvar itching and burning;

2. Irregular vaginal bleeding and bleeding after sexual intercourse;

3. Frequent urination, urgency and pain when urinating;

4. Female cervix congestion and edema, mucosal eversion with mucopurulent secretions

5. Cervical cancer prevention trial found precancerous lesions.
