Will cervical erosion affect your sex life?

Cervical erosion is not a separate disease, but a symptom. It is currently known in medicine as "cervical columnar epithelium ectopia". Simple "cervical erosion" is very common in women of childbearing age. It is a normal "stress" reaction that occurs when hormones surge in women's bodies and does not require treatment. However, it should be noted that cervical erosion may also be a manifestation of chronic cervicitis. For example, if the patient has increased vaginal discharge, which is sticky, has an odor, or contains blood, and develops into severe cervical erosion, attention should be paid and active treatment should be sought. This is because severe cervical erosion can not only affect women's sexual life, but can even cause

Severe cervical erosion refers to the erosion area exceeding 2/3 of the total area of ​​the cervix. The patient will experience increased and sticky leucorrhea with blood streaks, irregular vaginal bleeding, and contact bleeding or pain during sexual intercourse. If the erosion of severe cervical erosion is wide and deep, the inflammation can reach the pelvic cavity through the lymphatic circulation, causing pelvic inflammatory disease. The patient will experience symptoms of lower abdominal distension, lumbar pain, and some patients will have frequent urination and urgency. At the same time, because the secretions become viscous, the combination of sperm and egg is hindered. The inability of sperm and egg to combine into a fertilized egg will lead to female infertility.

Therefore, women with cervical erosion who experience increased secretions, contact bleeding, or concurrent infection should actively take medication.
