How can women prevent cervical erosion? 5 causes of mild cervical erosion

The grading method of cervical erosion is based on the size of the erosion area, which can be divided into mild cervical erosion, moderate cervical erosion, and severe cervical erosion. When the erosion area is less than 1/3 of the entire cervical area, it is mild cervical erosion. Cervical erosion is a common chronic inflammation of the cervix in women, and the incidence rate is relatively high in women of childbearing age.

Causes of mild cervical erosion:

Multiple 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.

Unclean sex life

During sexual intercourse, 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.

Having sex too early

Having too many sexual partners, multiple sexual partners, excessive sexual intensity (more than 4 times a week), sexual intercourse during menstruation, etc. are also causes of cervical erosion that cannot be ignored.

Over-cleaning

Some women often use high-concentration liquid medicine to flush the vagina, which will affect the ecological balance in the vagina, hinder the growth of normal flora, reduce its ability to inhibit bacteria, and eventually cause erosion.

Excessive menstrual flow

The menstrual period is prolonged, and the squamous epithelium of the cervix is ​​immersed in alkaline secretions and menstrual blood, and is stimulated for a long time to form inflammation; or due to congenital erosion, the estrogen level decreases, the cervix is ​​congested, and the endocervical epithelium proliferates and moves downward, causing the cervix to become eroded.

How to prevent cervical erosion?

1. Pay attention to sexual hygiene, control your sex life appropriately, and resolutely put an end to extramarital sex and avoid sexual intercourse during menstruation.

2. Take timely and effective contraceptive measures to reduce the incidence of induced abortion and the chance of artificial trauma and bacterial infection.

3. Those with short menstrual cycles or prolonged menstrual periods should be actively treated.

4. Prevent instruments from damaging the cervix during delivery.

5. If cervical laceration is found after delivery, it should be sutured promptly.

6. Have regular gynecological examinations to detect cervical inflammation and provide timely treatment.

Mild cervical erosion is a relatively mild disease. If discovered, seek medical treatment in time to prevent it from becoming more serious.
