How do I know if I have cervical erosion?

Female friends all know that cervical erosion can be divided into three degrees: light, moderate, and severe according to the severity and area of ​​erosion. But if actual women want to know what degree of erosion they have, how can they diagnose it? In fact, the erosion can be diagnosed through some tests. Let’s take a look at the various conditions of cervical erosion.

How to tell if you have cervical erosion

Experts say that after suffering from cervical erosion, there will be a lot of thick leucorrhea, sometimes there may be purulent or bloody leucorrhea, low back pain, abdominal pain and a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. Contact bleeding may also occur during sexual intercourse, and the appearance of bad smell is also very likely.

Cervical erosion can be diagnosed by combining some auxiliary tests:

The diagnostic steps for cervical erosion are as follows:

The first step is to do a basic gynecological vaginal secretion test to check for cervical erosion. Cervical erosion is often accompanied by vaginitis. It is necessary to first diagnose what pathogens are causing the infection, mainly Trichomonas, fungi, bacteria and other pathogens.

The second step is to do a colposcopy to check for cervical erosion: observe the changes in cervical epithelial cells under the administration of iodine and vinegar. The one-two-two-step examination requires the cooperation of the doctor. The doctor usually wants to feel the changes in the uterus and cervix, which is related to the doctor's experience. If the cervical erosion is serious, the doctor will do TCT examination again.

The third step is to use TCT to check for cervical erosion. This is mainly to check for cervical erosion lesions, analyze the condition of the cervix at the cellular level, and see if there are any abnormal malignant changes. If the result is abnormal, the doctor will proceed to the fourth step of testing.

The fourth step is to check for cervical erosion: a living tissue should be used for pathological examination to confirm the extent of the lesion.

Cervical erosion can affect women's reproductive function

It cannot be said that women with cervical erosion can or cannot get pregnant. For those with mild symptoms, they will not be unable to get pregnant. However, severe cervical erosion will have a certain impact on pregnancy. In fact, most cervical erosion is not real physiological erosion. It is just that under the adjustment of female hormone fluctuations, the external cervical opening is covered by the surrounding columnar epithelial cells, forming a granular red area with a certain gloss on the surface. It looks like real erosion, but in fact it is just a normal physiological phenomenon, not a disease.
