What are the symptoms of cervical ectropion?

Experts say that the symptoms of mild cervical ectropion are not obvious, but there may be a slight increase in mucous leucorrhea. However, when combined with infection and chronic cervicitis occurs, the discharge turns into mucopurulent secretions, the amount also increases, and there may be contact bleeding. Other symptoms of chronic cervicitis may also be present. The cervix may be torn during delivery, which may be unilateral, bilateral or stellate, with varying degrees, from mild to tearing to the dome. If not repaired surgically in time, the scar tissue may contract and cause the cervical canal to evert, exposing the cervical mucosa to the outside, forming cervical ectropion.

How to diagnose cervical ectropion in women? 1. Vaginal digital examination: The external os of the cervix is ​​wide, and sometimes the longitudinal folds in the midline of the cervical canal can be felt.

2. Vaginal speculum inspection: The cervix is ​​transversely fissured or star-shaped, the anterior and posterior lips of the cervix are far apart, and the mucosal folds at the lower end of the cervical canal are visible. If cervicitis coexists, due to long-term congestion, edema and connective tissue hyperplasia, the anterior and posterior lips of the cervix will be significantly enlarged, the mucosa will be red and swollen, and the surface will be covered with mucous secretions.
