Is cervical erosion contagious in girls?

Gynecological diseases are very common problems among women. Bad living habits and inadequate cleaning and hygiene methods can cause gynecological inflammation, and many gynecological inflammations can be cross-infected, which is why there are no hot springs in women's bathrooms. However, cervical erosion in women will not be infected, and its causative factor is not bacteria. This article introduces the details of cervical erosion. Let’s take a look.

1. Is cervical erosion contagious?

Cervical erosion is caused by mechanical stimulation, not by some pathogens or bacterial infection. It is significantly different from vaginitis, cervicitis, etc. Vaginitis is often caused by bacterial infection and is contagious, while cervical erosion is not contagious.

However, sometimes cervical erosion is accompanied by vaginitis or cervicitis. At this time, due to the presence of vaginitis and cervicitis, it becomes contagious. However, it is not cervical erosion that causes the infection, but vaginitis and cervicitis caused by bacteria. However, if you want to control cervical erosion, the best way to treat it is to temporarily stop having sex, not because of infection, but just for better treatment.

2. What is cervical erosion?

Cervical erosion is not actually a true erosion, but the shedding of squamous epithelial cells due to mechanical stimulation of the cervix. The cervix looks red, as if it is eroded. Cervical erosion is often caused by mechanical stimulation of sexual life after marriage.

Cervical erosion can be divided into three types according to its severity: mild, moderate and severe. If the cervical erosion is more serious, bleeding will often occur during sexual intercourse, the vaginal secretions will also become purulent, and there may even be blood in the vaginal secretions. In severe cases, there may also be pain in the lumbar and sacral area. Therefore, cervical erosion should not be underestimated. If it is not effectively treated for a long time, it may become cancerous and cervical cancer may occur.
