Why should I check HPV for cervical erosion?

In general, women are more likely to develop gynecological diseases, and there are many types of gynecological diseases, and different types of diseases cause different damages to women's bodies. For example, cervical erosion is a relatively common gynecological disease, but some women diagnosed with cervical erosion need to undergo HPV testing. So why is it necessary to check HPV to diagnose cervical erosion?

One of the important TCT-related examinations for cervical erosion is the HPV test, so it must be checked. The symptoms of cervical erosion observed with the naked eye include outward migration of the junction of the cervical squamous and columnar epithelium, mild cervical erosion, normal moderate to severe cervical erosion, and uterine inflammation. For cervical erosion, surgical treatment is recommended to remove part of the lesions and then carry out anti-inflammatory work.

The causes of cervical erosion in women include: multiple artificial abortions, rough movements of the doctor during artificial abortion or multiple artificial abortions, which can cause damage to the cervix and cervical erosion. At the same time, diagnostic curettage and cervical dilation can cause cervical erosion in women. Unclean sexual life and failure to pay attention to personal hygiene before sexual intercourse can cause pathogens to enter the female body and cause cervical erosion. Therefore, a stable and clean sexual environment can reduce the incidence rate of patients. Too many sexual partners and having sex too early. If women have sexual intercourse too early, change sexual partners frequently, or have sexual intercourse too frequently (more than 4 times a week), the chance of cervical erosion will increase significantly. Cervical erosion is the outward migration of the cervical columnar epithelium, which is mainly caused by inflammation and sometimes caused by pregnancy. It is a physiological phenomenon. The main reason is that the cervix is ​​columnar epithelium and the vaginal mucosa connected to it is squamous epithelium, that is, the cervical epithelium invades the vaginal mucosa. There are many reasons for the outward migration of cervical columnar epithelium: it is related to sexual activity, HPV infection, smoking, premature sexual life, sexually transmitted diseases, oral contraceptives, and immunosuppression, etc.

Symptoms include: increased vaginal discharge. After female friends suffer from cervical erosion, the vaginal discharge will show obvious symptoms. The amount of vaginal discharge will increase significantly, and the color of the vaginal discharge will change from colorless to white or light yellow. Sometimes the vaginal discharge will be mixed with blood. Vulvar itching: If a female friend suffers from cervical erosion, she will have obvious vulvar itching. This situation is mainly caused by long-term stimulation of inflammatory secretions. It may also lead to vulvitis or vaginitis, and the vagina will also experience itching or even pain. Frequent urination or difficulty urinating: Women suffering from cervical erosion will experience frequent urination or difficulty urinating. This is because the inflammation affects the bladder trigone and the surrounding area of ​​the bladder. Therefore, women must pay attention when they experience this feeling when urinating. Pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region: Women who suffer from cervical erosion will also experience pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region. If the disease spreads to the uterosacral ligament and cardinal ligament, it will cause inflammation of the pelvic connective tissue and even a feeling of falling.
