Many female friends have little knowledge about cervical erosion. In fact, cervical erosion is only a symptom, not a gynecological disease. However, although this is only a symptom, there are also health risks. If you neglect treatment and care, you may get cancer. Therefore, women should pay attention to preventive measures for cervical erosion.
What are the symptoms of cervical erosion?
1. Increased vaginal discharge. The main characteristic of cervical erosion is an increase in vaginal discharge. Generally, vaginal discharge will present milky white or light yellow secretions, with severe cases accompanied by bloodstains.
2. Pruritus of the external genitalia. Inflammation is stimulated for a long time, causing secondary vulvitis and vulvar itching caused by vaginitis.
3. Causing infertility. When cervical erosion is detected, if not treated in a timely manner. When the condition progresses to moderate to severe, there is a significant increase in cervical secretions and many white blood cells. Due to the increase in secretions, the range of sperm activity is hindered, affecting pregnancy.
4. Frequent urination or difficulty urinating. If inflammation spreads around the bladder, frequent urination or difficulty urinating may occur.
Many women tend to overlook the above symptoms when they appear, leading to increasingly severe conditions that seriously affect their normal life in the future. Therefore, in daily life, when diagnosed with cervical erosion, it should not be taken lightly.
What are the precautions for cervical erosion?
1. Take contraceptive measures. If you don't want children, you must take contraceptive measures. Because abortion can cause significant damage to the uterus, it may cause cervical erosion.
2. Regular gynecological examinations. When you feel unwell, go to the hospital for a check-up in a timely manner. If certain diseases are found, regular examinations are necessary to provide a good guarantee for the body.
3. Pay attention to hygiene. In daily life, it is important to frequently change underwear, especially during menstruation, to keep the external genitalia clean and to frequently replace sanitary napkins. At the same time, do not frequently wash the external genitalia with detergent. Because the vagina has an automatic cleaning function. If cleaned regularly, it may damage its acidity and alkalinity, leading to bacterial infection and inflammation.
4. Exercise appropriately. Exercise can enhance physical fitness, so exercising for half an hour every day is very helpful for the body's function.
