What virus is there in cervical erosion and herpes?

Cervical erosion with herpes is usually related to herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection, especially HSV-2. Cervical erosion itself is not a disease, but a physiological phenomenon. However, if combined with herpes virus infection, it may cause cervicitis or other complications. Treatment requires a combination of antiviral drugs, local care and lifestyle adjustments.

1. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection

Herpes simplex virus is divided into HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-2 is mainly transmitted through sexual contact and is the main pathogen of genital herpes. When the virus invades the cervical mucosa, it may cause herpetic cervicitis, which manifests as cervical erosion, pain, increased secretions, etc. HSV infection is latent and recurrent, and is prone to recurrence when immunity is low.

2. Physiological and pathological factors of cervical erosion

Cervical erosion is a manifestation of the outward migration of cervical columnar epithelium, which is a physiological phenomenon. However, after HSV infection, it may aggravate the local inflammatory response. Long-term chronic inflammation may increase the risk of cervical lesions and requires timely intervention.

3. Treatment methods

Antiviral drug treatment: Commonly used drugs include acyclovir, famciclovir and valacyclovir, which can inhibit viral replication, shorten the course of the disease and reduce the frequency of recurrence.

Local care: Use a mild cleanser to clean the vulva and avoid using irritating products. You can use local anti-inflammatory drugs or gels as recommended by your doctor.

Lifestyle adjustments: maintain good hygiene habits and avoid unclean sexual behavior; enhance immunity, maintain a regular schedule, eat a balanced diet, and exercise moderately.

4. Prevention and precautions

Regular gynecological examinations, especially cervical cytology screening such as TCT and HPV testing, can detect lesions early.

Avoid sexual contact with infected people and use condoms to reduce the risk of transmission.

If symptoms recur or worsen, seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying treatment.

Cervical erosion accompanied by herpes virus infection should be taken seriously. Timely treatment can effectively control symptoms and reduce the risk of complications. Through antiviral treatment, local care and a healthy lifestyle, patients can significantly improve their quality of life and reduce recurrence.
