What are the symptoms of cervical erosion?

Cervical erosion refers to the ectopic movement of the junction between the external epithelium of the cervical os and the columnar epithelium inside the cervix. It is a physiological phenomenon caused by hormone stimulation. When the female cervix is ​​red and looks like eczema in patches, it is clinically called cervical erosion. In fact, this description is a bit serious, and the patient's cervix is ​​not really eroded. What are the symptoms of cervical erosion that patients should pay attention to?

Cervicitis is one of the smaller symptoms of cervical erosion. It is divided into three types: mild, moderate and severe, which mainly refers to the degree of outward turning of the cervical columnar epithelium after estrogen stimulation. However, there are ways to distinguish cervical erosion from cervicitis. Increased leucorrhea with yellow color and odor is a manifestation of cervicitis. Cervical erosion is not only accompanied by increased leucorrhea, but also accompanied by serious symptoms such as vulvar itching, lower abdominal pain, and urination pain.

Increased vaginal discharge is the main symptom of cervical erosion. Especially in severe cervical erosion, the vaginal discharge is mixed with blood and bacteria. When it is discharged to the vulva, it will irritate the vulva and cause severe vulva itching, making the patient uncomfortable. People with cervical erosion often feel uncomfortable in the triangle area and around the bladder, and are prone to frequent urination and incomplete urination. These are all caused by cervical erosion, which shows that it is still very harmful to the body.

Regarding the treatment of cervical erosion, generally not too many special treatments are given clinically. It is better to start from personal living habits, pay attention to sexual hygiene, personal genital hygiene, eating habits, etc., to prevent and treat cervical erosion. Mild cervical erosion can be treated in this way, if it is more serious, it must cooperate with the doctor for treatment.

However, one thing to remind you here is not to blindly treat cervical erosion, but to go to a regular hospital for examination, and not to confuse cervical erosion with other gynecological diseases such as cervical cancer and cervicitis. These two diseases are very likely to be caused by changes in cervical erosion, so it is necessary to distinguish them clearly before treatment to avoid delaying the treatment of other diseases.
