What causes cervical erosion in women? How to take care of cervical erosion in women?

Cervical erosion is a common cervical disease in women. It has a great impact on women's work and life, and seriously endangers women's health. So, why do women get cervical erosion? Therefore, women should understand the cause of the disease, do a good job in disease prevention, and avoid the disease from harming their health.

So, what causes cervical erosion in women?

1. Excessive intensity of sexual life

Multiple sexual partners, excessive sexual activity, sexual activity during menstruation, etc. are also causes of cervical erosion.

2. Unclean sexual life

During sexual intercourse, the male penis will have direct contact with the female cervix. If the male does not pay attention to sexual hygiene, he can directly bring bacteria into the vagina and infect the cervix. For women who already have cervical erosion, it will aggravate the inflammation, expand the erosion area, and in severe cases, bleeding during sexual intercourse may occur.

3. Repeated artificial abortion

Multiple artificial abortions can cause varying degrees of cervical damage, giving bacteria an opportunity to invade, leading to long-term stimulation of cervicitis and increased local secretions. Long-term immersion of the cervix in inflammatory secretions will cause erosion.

4. Over-cleaning

Frequent flushing of the vagina with high concentrations of disinfectant will not only affect the growth of normal vaginal flora and reduce its ability to inhibit bacteria, but can also cause varying degrees of cervical epithelial damage and eventually erosion.

How should patients with cervical erosion be cared for in daily life?

1. Do not use sanitary pads for a long time. Many women think that using sanitary pads can avoid direct contact between the genitals and underwear, which helps keep the genital environment clean. This idea is very wrong, because long-term use of sanitary pads can easily cause poor ventilation of the genitals and cause infection. Therefore, it is recommended to use sanitary pads only in the short period of time when menstruation is about to end or when menstruation is about to begin.

2. Don’t sit for a long time. Almost everyone knows that long-term sitting can lead to poor blood circulation, but more importantly, women who sit for a long time will have poor ventilation in the perineum, obstructed blood circulation, and are more susceptible to infection.

3. Don’t use vaginal washes blindly. When many women feel uncomfortable in their genitals, they usually go to the pharmacy to buy vaginal washes. In fact, frequent use of vaginal washes will cause great damage to the vaginal environment and aggravate vaginitis.

What should I pay attention to in my diet?

1. Eat a light diet with more fruits, vegetables and light food, and take a rest. You can eat some yin-nourishing foods and qi-replenishing and blood-replenishing medicines, and eat less irritating and spicy foods such as onions, beef and mutton.

2. After cervical erosion surgery, the body is weak and prone to sweating. Therefore, water should be replenished in small amounts and multiple times to reduce water evaporation; sweat excretes more water-soluble vitamins, especially vitamin C, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2, so you should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. This is also helpful to prevent constipation.

3. Do not eat spicy or irritating foods, because they will aggravate pelvic congestion and inflammation, or cause excessive contraction of the uterine muscles, which will aggravate the symptoms. Foods that are hot, coagulant, and contain hormones, such as chili, pepper, garlic, onion, ginger, leek, chicken soup, durian, longan, red dates, donkey-hide gelatin, royal jelly, etc. should also be eaten less.
