Is cervical erosion hereditary in women?

Is cervical erosion hereditary in women? Cervical erosion causes great harm to many patients, because in the early stages of the disease, patients will experience contact bleeding, which will cause pain in women's lower body and endanger their normal life. Therefore, everyone is very concerned about whether this disease is hereditary. Let us ask an expert to introduce it below.

In fact, cervical erosion is a manifestation of chronic cervicitis, and cervical erosion is not the erosion we usually understand. When the epidermis of the external os of the cervix falls off and is replaced by another epithelial tissue of the os of the cervix, the new epithelium covering the surface is very thin, and even the blood vessels and red tissue underneath can be seen. It looks like real erosion, so it is called cervical erosion. But in fact, it is not real erosion.

Cervical erosion occurs due to delivery, miscarriage, postpartum infection or surgical operation or mechanical stimulation such as sexual intercourse that damages the cervix and pathogens invade and cause infection. What we hope to attract everyone's attention is that since the penis and cervix are in direct contact during sexual intercourse, if you do not pay attention to sexual hygiene, you can directly bring the bacteria into the vagina and infect the cervix; and for women who already have cervical erosion, it can aggravate their cervical inflammation and may cause the erosion surface to expand. Severe cervical erosion sometimes causes bleeding during sexual intercourse. Therefore, whether women suffer from cervical erosion or not, they must pay attention to sexual hygiene. Both men and women should wash the vulva before sexual intercourse, and men should pay attention to removing smegma, because it is currently believed that the cholesterol in the smegma can be converted into carcinogens under the action of bacteria. Active treatment is required after suffering from cervical erosion.

Will cervical erosion turn into cancer?

Some people are afraid that cervical erosion may turn into cervical cancer. This worry is not without basis, but there is no need to be too nervous. Due to the anatomical position and physiological function of the cervix, it is easily damaged by various physical, chemical, biological and other factors. Therefore, cervical erosion is more common. The occurrence of cervical cancer is closely related to cervical erosion, that is, those with cervical erosion have a higher incidence of cervical cancer. Therefore, preventing and treating cervical erosion plays an important role in reducing the occurrence of cervical cancer.
