What causes cervical erosion?

Many women suffer from cervical erosion of varying degrees of severity. Cervical erosion is divided into three degrees: mild, moderate and severe. Among them, mild cases are not a big deal and can be left untreated for the time being, but moderate cases are likely to turn into severe cases and may even induce cervical cancer, so they must be treated in a timely manner. We must know the causes of cervical erosion so that we can avoid the occurrence of this disease.

(1) First: Unclean Sexual Life

Unmarried women are protected by the barrier of the hymen, and the microecological environment in their vagina is in balance. Even if pathogens invade, they are unlikely to cause trouble, so cervical erosion rarely occurs. Once you have sex, the vagina is in a relatively "open" state. During sexual intercourse, the penis and cervix are in direct contact. If men do not pay attention to sexual hygiene, they can directly bring bacteria into the vagina and infect the cervix. For women who already have cervical erosion, it can aggravate their cervical inflammation, expand the erosion area, and in severe cases, bleeding during sexual intercourse may occur. Therefore, men are to blame for cervical erosion. Therefore, men must be persuaded to clean their external genitalia before having sex.

(2) Second: Multiple artificial abortions

More importantly, repeated artificial abortions can cause varying degrees of cervical damage, giving bacteria an opportunity to invade and cause cervicitis. Due to the stimulation of inflammation, local secretions increase, and long-term immersion of the cervix in inflammatory secretions will cause erosion. Therefore, women of childbearing age must take good contraceptive measures, avoid multiple artificial abortions, and prevent the occurrence of cervical erosion.

(3) Third: Over-cleaning

Some women pay great attention to hygiene, but lack the necessary knowledge and often use high-concentration disinfectant to flush the vagina, which has the opposite effect.

(4) Fourth: Menstruation lasts too long

Studies have shown that cervical erosion is related to the menstrual cycle and the number of days it lasts. Women whose cycles are too short or last too long are more likely to develop cervical erosion. The incidence of erosion can be reduced by prolonging the cycle and shortening the menstrual period.

(5) Fifth: Multiple sexual partners, excessive sexual activity (more than 4 times a week), sexual activity during menstruation, etc. are also causes of cervical erosion that cannot be ignored.

There are many causes of cervical erosion. We must pay attention to it. If you have already suffered from cervical erosion, you must seek timely treatment. If it is mild or not suffered, you should also pay attention to some of the above-mentioned factors that may cause cervical erosion. We must pay attention to these, especially in the aspect of sexual life.
