What are the dangers of cervical erosion? Is there any relationship between cervical erosion and sexual life?

The cervix is ​​divided into the inner and outer openings. The epithelium of the inner opening is a thin red columnar cell that secretes mucus. The outer opening is covered with pink squamous epithelium, which lines the vagina. The thin columnar epithelium is prone to infection. When long-term chronic inflammation occurs, the squamous epithelium of the outer opening of the cervix will be covered by columnar epithelium. The columnar epithelium is very thin. If the capillaries and red stroma below are seen, a red area will appear with a clear boundary from the surrounding squamous epithelium, which is called cervical erosion.

What are the common dangers of cervical erosion?

1. Cause complications

Once you have this disease, it may cause other complications. The pathogens of the disease will spread to other places, causing secondary damage to the female body. For example, entering the bladder triangle can cause urinary system diseases, dysuria and painful urination, endometritis or pelvic attack and inflammation. In addition, the long-term invasion of chronic inflammation by the human body will further cause cysts and polyps, aggravating the condition.

2. Infertility

This disease will cause women to produce more inflammatory secretions, which are the natural enemy of sperm. Because the secretions are relatively viscous and contain a large number of white blood cells, they will not only swallow sperm, but also make it impossible for sperm to move, making it difficult for them to pass through and unable to see the egg, and naturally unable to fertilize, leading to infertility.

3. Cause cervical cancer

Women with this disease are 10 times more likely to develop cervical cancer than ordinary people. This is because the cervix has been damaged by inflammatory bacteria for a long time, and the immunity will become worse and worse, weaker and weaker, and there is no power to fight back against bacteria. In the long run, it will cause cervical lesions and lead to cancer. Therefore, if this symptom occurs, it should be treated as soon as possible to prevent the invasion of cancer.

4. Miscarriage

As the baby grows day by day, the progesterone and estrogen levels of the pregnant woman continue to soar, making the disease more serious and even causing vaginal bleeding. If not treated, the bacteria will infect the reproductive organs, the fetal membranes will be damaged, and the amniotic fluid on which the fetus depends for survival will leak, leading to unfortunate miscarriage.

5. Many worries

This disease can seriously affect women's normal life, such as lower abdominal swelling, back pain, thick and delicious leucorrhea, vulva itching and even urination discomfort, which makes women suffer and affects their normal study, work and life.

What are the factors of cervical erosion?

1. Early sexual activity and too many sexual partners. Nowadays, young people generally have premarital sex. Early sexual activity, frequent changes of sexual partners, and high intensity of sexual activity (more than 4 times a week) are causes of cervical erosion that cannot be ignored.

2. Unclean sex life. Since premarital sex is mostly kept secret, young people do not have a stable source of income and cannot create a stable and clean sex life environment, which greatly increases the probability of getting sick.

3. Multiple artificial abortions Multiple artificial abortions, diagnostic curettage, cervical dilation and other gynecological surgeries may cause cervical injury or inflammation, and eventually lead to cervical erosion.

4. Excessive vaginal cleaning. Currently, there are many female cleaning products on the market. If they are not properly selected, flushing the vagina with a high concentration of disinfectant will not only affect the growth of normal vaginal flora and reduce its ability to inhibit bacteria, but will also cause varying degrees of cervical epithelial damage and erosion.
