Are cervical hypertrophy and erosion contagious?

Cervical hypertrophy and erosion are not contagious. They are mainly caused by non-infectious factors such as chronic inflammation, changes in hormone levels or mechanical stimulation. Treatments include medication, physical therapy and lifestyle adjustments.

Cervical hypertrophy is usually caused by long-term chronic inflammatory stimulation, which leads to hyperplasia of cervical glands and stroma. Changes in hormone levels, such as increased estrogen levels during pregnancy, may also cause cervical hypertrophy. Mechanical stimulation, such as multiple births or surgical operations, can also cause thickening of cervical tissue. Cervical erosion is often associated with chronic cervicitis, and is manifested by the replacement of squamous epithelium on the surface of the cervix with columnar epithelium, which appears red and erosive.

Drug treatment is a common method. Antibiotics such as azithromycin and cephalosporins can be used to treat infectious inflammation. Hormone drugs such as estradiol can help regulate hormone levels. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen can relieve inflammation symptoms. Physical therapy includes laser therapy, cryotherapy and microwave therapy, which can effectively remove diseased tissue and promote the regeneration of healthy tissue.

Lifestyle adjustments are equally important. Maintain personal hygiene, avoid using irritating lotions, and reduce mechanical stimulation during sex. Eating more foods rich in vitamins C and E, such as citrus fruits and nuts, can help enhance immunity. Regular gynecological examinations, early detection and treatment of cervical lesions can prevent further deterioration of the disease.

Although cervical hypertrophy and erosion are not contagious diseases, they may lead to more serious health problems if not treated in time. Through medication, physical therapy and lifestyle adjustments, the condition can be effectively controlled and complications can be prevented. Regular physical examinations and healthy lifestyle habits are the key to maintaining a healthy cervix.
