How long will it take for cervical erosion to heal?

The female uterus is a relatively fragile organ. If the sexual life is not harmonious and hygiene is not paid attention to, it will cause cervical erosion in women. Although this disease will not be very serious in the early stages, if it is not treated in time, it can easily develop into cervical cancer. Therefore, if you have cervical erosion, you must take medication in time. You should choose the right medicine according to your different physical conditions and continue the treatment. So how long will it take to recover?

The squamocolumnar junction is easily affected by estrogen. Before puberty, women's ovarian function is not perfect, estrogen is low, and the columnar epithelium is closer to the inside. After menstruation, the columnar epithelium is affected by estrogen and develops more outward. Therefore, more columnar epithelium similar to "erosion" is found during cervical examination. After menopause, women's estrogen levels decrease, and the columnar epithelium begins to retreat inward. At this time, the "erosion" can no longer be seen during examination. So, in essence, the so-called cervical erosion is actually the eversion of the columnar epithelium.

In the past medical textbooks, there was a so-called graded diagnosis of cervical erosion, which was called mild, moderate and severe. It was believed that the size of the range was the severity of the inflammation. An area less than 1/3 was mild, 1/3-2/3 was moderate, and more than 2/3 was severe. If you understand the true mechanism of the so-called "cervical erosion" mentioned above, it is easy to understand that it is actually the different degrees of eversion of the columnar epithelium after the influence of estrogen, which is a normal physiological phenomenon.

Cervical columnar epithelium ectopia is a normal physiological phenomenon and has no special clinical manifestations. Some people may experience contact bleeding, but this is just an individual difference in the cervix, just like some people will bleed from their teeth or mouth when they chew something hard.

If the amount of vaginal discharge increases, becomes yellow, and has an odor, it is a sign of cervical inflammation. The cyst and hypertrophy of the cervix are also the result of chronic cervical inflammation.
