Cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease and one that we need to pay attention to. It poses a great threat to the health of female friends, especially after discovering abnormalities, it is necessary to immediately go to the hospital for examination.
Can cervical erosion affect pregnancy
Women with cervical erosion cannot roughly say whether they can or cannot conceive, and those with mild symptoms cannot conceive, but those with severe cervical erosion have a certain impact on pregnancy. In fact, many cervical erosion are not truly pathological erosion, but are regulated by fluctuations in hormone levels. The outer opening of the cervix is covered by surrounding columnar epithelium, forming a granular, shiny red area on the surface that looks like real erosion, but is actually a normal physiological phenomenon, not a disease.
The hazards of cervical erosion
1. Causing infertility: When cervical erosion occurs, especially moderate and severe cervical erosion, cervical secretions will significantly increase, with a sticky texture and a large number of white blood cells. The toxicity of inflammatory secretions on sperm results in excessive energy consumption, shortened lifespan, and a large number of sperm being engulfed by inflammatory cells, destroyed by bacteria and their toxins. Among them, Escherichia coli has a strong coagulation effect on sperm, causing sperm to lose vitality and affecting pregnancy.
2. Complications: After suffering from cervical erosion, other organs become inflamed. For example, the pathogen of cervical erosion can rise and cause endometritis, which can spread to the uterine ligaments and lymphatic vessels, causing inflammation of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. When affecting the trigone of the bladder, it can cause diseases of the urinary system, causing irritating symptoms such as painful urination, frequent urination, and difficulty urinating.
3. Long term stimulation of chronic inflammation can cause deeper diseases such as polyps, lacerations, ectropions, and cysts.
4. Causing cancer transformation: Women with cervical erosion have a nearly 10 times higher incidence of cervical cancer compared to the general population. Under the stimulation of long-term chronic inflammation, atypical hyperplasia of the columnar epithelium in the cervical canal can occur. If not treated promptly and correctly, it will develop towards precancerous lesions of the cervix
Treatment methods for cervical erosion
1. Drug treatment: With minimal side effects, it is suitable for women who have not given birth. The most common drugs used in foreign countries to treat cervical erosion are Sadir gel, Huijian combination, and topical drug erosion suppositories, which have good effects and high prices.
2. Physical therapy: Treatment options include laser, cryotherapy, microwave electrocautery, etc. The main choice is laser therapy, which generally improves from primary to secondary treatment.
