What harm does cervical erosion cause to women? How can women prevent cervical erosion from becoming cancerous?

With the ever-increasing pace of life and changes in environmental quality, women are also suffering from various diseases. Cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease. I believe that many women are suffering from it. Experts say that women with cervical erosion are more likely to develop cervical cancer. What harm does cervical erosion cause to women?

1. Cause infertility

When cervical erosion occurs, especially moderate or severe cervical erosion, cervical secretions will increase significantly, become viscous, and contain a large number of white blood cells that can phagocytize sperm. This will have an adverse effect on sperm motility, hinder sperm from entering the uterine cavity, and affect conception.

2. Causes complications

When suffering from cervical erosion, it will cause inflammation of other organs. For example, the pathogens of cervical erosion can ascend to cause endometritis; it 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 irritating symptoms such as urinary pain, frequent urination or difficulty urinating.

3. It can cause deeper lesions

Due to long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, deeper diseases such as polyps, lacerations, eversions and cysts may occur.

4. Canceration

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.

So how should we prevent cervical erosion from becoming cancer? This is a topic that many female friends are very concerned about. Let the experts give us a detailed introduction on how to prevent cervical erosion from becoming cancer.

1. During the treatment of cervical erosion, since the wound of the cervix has not been completely repaired, it is not suitable to have sex. Some patients do not listen to the doctor's advice, which reduces the efficacy or even makes it ineffective. People who have too frequent sex after treatment are prone to recurrence of cervical disease. You must pay attention to this problem.

2. Thoroughly treat cervical erosion: Some patients cannot persist in treatment. For example, when microwave treatment is used for moderate to severe cervical erosion, some patients need to undergo two or three treatments. However, some patients are too lazy to return for follow-up visits because they have no symptoms or do not have time, and the treatment is abandoned halfway. Treatment must be reviewed. If it is not completely cured, it must be completely cured.
