Can I have sex if I have cervical erosion?

Cervical erosion is a relatively common reproductive inflammation, especially married women are more likely to suffer from cervical erosion. Women who have already suffered from cervical erosion should pay attention to active treatment and suspend sexual intercourse during treatment, because sexual intercourse at this time will aggravate cervical inflammation.

1. A normal and hygienic sex life will not bring any harm to women , because normal semen has certain bactericidal and disinfecting effects, and the female vagina also has a self-cleaning function. If the man carefully cleans his external genitalia before each sexual intercourse, the bacteria will not have the opportunity to invade the vagina. On the contrary, if you do not pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene during sexual intercourse, bacteria will have the opportunity to invade the vagina, which will increase the possibility of your wife suffering from genital inflammation.

2. More importantly , married women may suffer varying degrees of cervical lacerations during childbirth or miscarriage. Although sometimes the laceration is very small and does not cause any symptoms at the time, it opens the door for bacteria to invade and cause cervical inflammation in the future. Due to the stimulation of inflammation, local secretions increase, and long-term immersion of the cervix in inflammatory secretions will cause erosion.

3. In addition, some surgeries or diagnosis and treatment of gynecological diseases after marriage, such as abortion, diagnostic curettage, cervical dilation, etc., may also cause cervical injury and inflammation.

4. Some women pay great attention to hygiene , but lack the necessary knowledge. They often use high-concentration disinfectant to flush the vagina, which often has the opposite effect. Because doing so will not only affect the growth of normal vaginal flora and reduce its ability to inhibit pathogenic bacteria, but can also cause varying degrees of cervical epithelial damage and eventually erosion.

5. During sexual intercourse, the penis and cervix are in direct contact . If you do not pay attention to sexual hygiene, you can directly bring bacteria into the vagina and infect the cervix. For women who already have cervical erosion, it can aggravate their cervical inflammation and may expand the erosion area. Severe cervical erosion may sometimes cause bleeding during sexual intercourse. Therefore, regardless of whether women suffer from cervical erosion or not, they must pay attention to sexual hygiene. Both men and women should clean the vulva before sexual intercourse, and men should pay attention to removing smegma, because it is currently believed that the cholesterol in the smegma can be converted into carcinogens under the action of bacteria. Active treatment is required after suffering from cervical erosion.
