What are the causes and hazards of cervical erosion?

The causes of cervical erosion include many factors, and some cases may require hospital treatment. Cervical erosion is not a literal erosion, but is caused by the columnar epithelium of the cervix covering the squamous epithelium, which is common in women during their reproductive period. The main reasons may be related to changes in estrogen levels, chronic infection or cervical trauma. Changes in hormone levels may lead to abnormal growth of cell tissues, while chronic infections such as human papillomavirus (HPV) infection may further induce tissue changes. Damaged cervical tissue may also erode if it is exposed to prolonged inflammatory stimulation.

This situation usually does not directly affect life, but if it causes discomfort or abnormal symptoms, such as abnormal vaginal discharge, bleeding, or pain, it needs attention and treatment. In order to prevent and detect cervical changes early, it is recommended to conduct regular cervical cancer screening such as TCT and HPV examinations. Maintaining good personal hygiene and reasonable sexual habits can reduce the risk of infection, thereby reducing the probability of cervical erosion. If you find any abnormalities or discomfort, please consult an obstetrician and gynecologist in time to obtain professional diagnosis and treatment advice.
