Unclean sexual life can cause cervical erosion

Cervical erosion is quite common in daily life, and many people have misunderstandings about it, such as cervical erosion means that the cervix is ​​"rotten", etc. In fact, cervical erosion is not a disease, but a symptom of chronic cervicitis. The causes of cervical erosion are related to factors such as multiple miscarriages, excessive cleaning, and unclean sexual life.

Normal, hygienic sex generally does not cause harm to women. This is because normal semen contains bactericidal substances that can disinfect the vagina; the female vagina has a certain defense function, and the internal acidic environment can inhibit the growth of pathogens; periodic menstruation will expel the shed endometrium and epithelial cells of the reproductive tract, etc.

However, it should be noted that the male and female genital mucosa have wrinkles on the outside, which are easy to breed bacteria. For example, there is often white smegma between the foreskin and the glans penis, which contains many bacteria; the female urethra, vagina, and anus are close to each other, and germs are easy to contaminate each other. If you do not pay attention to hygiene during sexual intercourse, it will cause inflammation of the female reproductive organs. When chronic cervicitis occurs, it can manifest as cervical erosion. At the same time, sexual intercourse can damage the cervical tissue. When the integrity of the normal epithelium is destroyed and the invasion of pathogens can lead to the appearance of cervical erosion.

Therefore, both men and women can carefully clean the external genitalia and perineum before each sexual intercourse, pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, do not give germs a chance to take advantage, and reduce the chance of cervical erosion in women.
