What are the causes of cervical erosion? Can unclean sexual life also cause cervical erosion?

Cause of cervical erosion 1: unclean sexual life

Unmarried women are protected by the hymen, and the microecological environment in the vagina is in a balanced state. Even if bacteria invade, it is difficult to make waves, so cervical erosion rarely occurs. Once sexual intercourse occurs, the vagina is relatively in an "open" state. The penis is in direct contact with the cervix. If men do not pay attention to sexual hygiene, they can directly bring bacteria into the vagina and infect the cervix; for women who already have cervical erosion, it can aggravate cervical inflammation, expand the erosion surface, and cause sexual bleeding in severe cases, so the cause of cervical erosion is the responsibility of men. Therefore, before having sex, we must persuade men to clean their external genitalia.

Cause 2 of cervical erosion: multiple miscarriages

More importantly, repeated artificial abortions can cause varying degrees of cervical damage, giving bacteria an opportunity to cause cervicitis. Due to the stimulation of inflammation, local secretions increase, and the cervix is ​​immersed in inflammatory secretions for a long time, which can lead to erosion. Therefore, women of childbearing age must do a good job of contraception, avoid multiple artificial abortions, and prevent the occurrence of cervical erosion. Mild cervical erosion often has no clinical symptoms. Some patients may have increased leucorrhea, which may be milky white mucus or yellow pus, and sometimes bloody leucorrhea or cervical contact bleeding. Generally, it does not affect fertility, so female friends do not need to worry too much.

Cause three of cervical erosion: excessive cleaning

Some women pay great attention to hygiene, but lack the necessary knowledge and often use high-concentration disinfectants to clean the vagina, which is counterproductive. This is because doing so will not only affect the growth of normal vaginal flora and reduce its ability to inhibit bacteria, but will also cause varying degrees of damage to the cervical epithelium and eventually erode it. Therefore, the correct way to clean the genitals should be: properly clean the vulva, do not clean the vagina if it is not necessary, maintain the natural defense line of the female reproductive tract, do not destroy the ecological balance of the vagina, and do not let bacteria stir up trouble.
