Abortion is the cause of cervical erosion. Abortion can cause three major damages to the cervix.

After having an abortion, many female friends go to the hospital for a checkup and find that their cervical erosion is getting worse, or they did not have cervical erosion before, but now the examination shows erosion. So many people think that abortion can cause cervical erosion, and cervical erosion does have this part of the reason. But is abortion the main cause of cervical erosion?

1. Mechanical damage <br/>We all know that abortion requires mechanical access to the uterus for curettage, which will inevitably come into contact with the cervix. During the friction process, it will more or less cause some irritation and damage. This is why many women who do not have cervicitis will have mild cervical inflammation or erosion after abortion.

2. Chemical stimulation <br/>There are several different ways to do abortion. In the early days, in addition to mechanical surgery, you can also do medicine. The most commonly used method is chemical treatment. In comparison, this method may be more violent and more harmful to the human body. Therefore, cervical erosion occurs or worsens because of this.

3. Personal hygiene <br/>Not paying attention to personal hygiene can easily lead to further aggravation of cervical erosion. You should know that various E. coli, streptococci, including staphylococci, etc. can easily cause suppurative inflammation. Various viruses and trichomonas can also cause cervical inflammation. Therefore, personal hygiene must not be neglected. In addition to washing and changing underwear frequently, try not to share various bathing tools with others.
Abortion can indeed make cervical erosion more serious, but you must communicate closely with your doctor before and after the abortion. Always pay attention to changes in your body, pay more attention, and seek treatment as early as possible.
