What is the reason why iodine does not stain the cervix?

Most married women are familiar with the disease of cervical erosion. Even if they themselves are not suffering from the disease, the female friends around them may have it. Simply put, cervical erosion is caused by the invasion of bacteria on the cervix, which leads to the shedding of the surface epithelium of the cervix, thus causing the disease. Iodine is needed when doing cervical erosion examination. So, what is the reason why the cervix does not stain with iodine?

The iodine test is a method to distinguish true cervical erosion from false cervical erosion. For true erosion, iodine is applied to the cervix, which will stain and facilitate treatment. For false erosion, there will be no staining.

It will not affect the results of TCT examination. If there are cancer cells, they cannot be easily killed by iodine. It is recommended that you relax and treat cervical erosion in time after excluding cancer.

Causes of cervical erosion

1. Frequent artificial abortions

Some young women do not take proper safety measures during pre-marital sexual intercourse, resulting in frequent abortions, which damages the cervix and makes it difficult for it to resist the invasion of bacteria, causing inflammation. Inflammation stimulates the secretion in women's body, and if the cervix is ​​soaked in this secretion for a long time, it will form erosion. In addition, gynecological surgeries such as cervical dilation and curettage can also damage the cervix.

2. Unhealthy sex life

At present, young people generally accept premarital sex, but due to the lack of sexual knowledge, they will lead to unhealthy sex life. Young people have strong physical strength and find high-intensity sex life very stimulating. Having sex more than four times a week can easily cause the disease. This is because the male reproductive organ comes into contact with the female cervix multiple times for a long time, stimulating the cervix and putting a lot of pressure on it. In addition, if the male's genitals are not cleaned properly, more and more germs will be brought into the female's body, which will cause the disease over time. In addition, having too many sexual partners and starting sex too early are also reasons that cannot be underestimated.

3. Unhygienic sex life

For women who have not had sex, germs rarely have the opportunity to enter the female body due to the protection of the hymen, and the vaginal environment is cleaner. Women who have had sexual intercourse are relatively more susceptible to germs because they no longer have the protection of their hymen. Some men do not pay attention to the hygiene of their sexual life. During intimacy, bacteria will enter the female cervix through the male's reproductive organs and cause inflammation. In addition, women who already have this symptom will have the area of ​​cervical erosion expanded, causing deeper erosion. Here, it is recommended that women, for their own health, urge men to do necessary cleaning before intimacy.
