What are the hazards of cervical erosion in women?

In fact, in today's life, many women are affected by cervical erosion, especially severe cervical erosion. But we all know that as a common gynecological disease, it causes great harm to women, so women must pay attention to their health in life. If they find cervical erosion problems, they must actively treat it because it may cause infertility or other complications.

1. Leading to infertility. The physical and chemical properties of cervical mucus have changed significantly, containing more white blood cells, and the pH value of mucus is alkaline. When sperm passes through the cervix, not only will the inflammatory microenvironment of the cervix reduce the vitality of sperm, the viscous secretions make it difficult for sperm to pass through, and the inflammatory secretions will poison sperm, causing sperm to consume too much energy and shorten their lifespan. In addition, a large number of sperm are phagocytosed by inflammatory cells and destroyed by bacteria and their toxins. Among them, Escherichia coli has a strong agglutination effect on sperm, causing sperm to lose vitality.

2. Leading to complications. When suffering from cervical erosion, it will cause inflammation of other organs, such as: the pathogens of cervical erosion can ascend to cause endometritis; can spread through the parauterine ligaments and lymphatic vessels to cause chronic pelvic inflammatory disease; when the inflammation spreads to the bladder triangle, it can cause urinary system diseases and cause irritation symptoms such as urinary pain, frequent urination or difficulty urinating.

In addition, the incidence of cervical cancer in women with cervical erosion is nearly ten times higher than that of the general population. Under the stimulation of long-term chronic inflammation, atypical hyperplasia may occur in the columnar epithelium derived from the proliferation of the cervical canal. If it is not treated promptly and correctly, it will gradually develop into cervical precancerous lesions. Because cervical erosion is often accompanied by HPV infection, it is one of the suspicious signals of causing cervical cancer. This development process generally takes 5-10 years.

Although cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease, women should never take it lightly, because many patients with cervical erosion may develop cervical cancer in the later stage, which poses a greater threat to life and health. Therefore, whether married or unmarried women, they must pay attention to this common sense and take good care of themselves.
