Cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease that poses serious health risks to female friends. After getting sick, we must have a correct understanding and timely examination and treatment to prevent the severity of the condition. Let's take a look at cervical erosion together.
How is cervical erosion caused
1. Excessive cleaning
Many female friends are particularly clean, and sometimes even clean them many times. In fact, not being clean is a good thing, but if they are too clean, there will be fewer bad ones because excessive cleaning can change the body environment and make it easier for bacteria to grow.
2. Long term enclosed drying of underwear
Some women are shy, so their underwear is often dried in a closed environment. Regular washing of underwear without sunlight throughout the year can also breed bacteria. Close fitting clothing can easily cause bacterial invasion and inadvertently cause cervical erosion.
3. Long term use of contraceptive pills
Many female friends in daily life take birth control pills, but in fact, taking them can disrupt the body's endocrine cycle, cause endocrine disorders, and easily cause cervical erosion.
The main symptoms of cervical erosion
1. Increased vaginal discharge: Increased vaginal discharge is the main symptom of this disease, usually presenting as milky white or light yellow purulent discharge, bloody or mixed with bloodline.
2. Vulval itching: Vulvovaginal itching and pain secondary to vulvitis and vaginitis due to increased stimulation of the vaginal discharge.
3. Lower abdominal and lumbosacral pain: When inflammation is severe, the uterosacral and main ligaments spread, and pelvic connective tissue inflammation is lacking, causing lower abdominal and lumbosacral pain, accompanied by a sense of falling.
4. Urinary frequency or difficulty urinating: When inflammation affects the trigone and surrounding bladder, urinary frequency or difficulty urinating.
5. Infertility: Thick vaginal discharge is not conducive to sperm penetration, and severe cervicitis may lead to infertility.
Cervical erosion is harmful to women
1. Causing infertility
When cervical erosion occurs, especially in moderate to severe cases, cervical secretions are significantly increased, with a thick texture and abundant white blood cells, which can engulf sperm and have a negative impact on sperm motility, hindering sperm entry into the uterine cavity and affecting pregnancy.
2. Complications
After suffering from cervical erosion, other organs become inflamed. For example, the pathogen of cervical erosion can rise to the para uterine ligament that causes endometritis, and when the inflammation of chronic pelvic inflammation caused by lymphatic spread spreads to the bladder triangle, it will cause diseases of the urinary system, causing irritation symptoms such as pain, frequency, and difficulty in urination.
