What are the symptoms of uterine erosion?

What are the symptoms of uterine erosion? Women who are unfamiliar with this disease are worried that they will suffer from such a disease one day. However, what every patient is most worried about is that when they suffer from the disease, they don’t know what is going on with their body. If they don’t know the cause of their abnormal symptoms, the disease will worsen if it cannot be treated. So what are the symptoms of uterine erosion?

Early symptoms of cervical erosion

Physiological cervical erosion: Physiological cervical erosion-like changes are generally asymptomatic, but because the single-layer columnar epithelium covering the vaginal part of the cervix has secretory function and is brittle, some patients may experience increased vaginal secretions and bleeding after sexual intercourse.

Pathological cervical erosion: Pathological cervical erosion-like changes are mostly caused by bacterial infection or inflammation. At the beginning of inflammation, the erosion surface is only covered by columnar epithelium and the surface is flat, which is a simple erosion; later the erosion surface becomes uneven and granules appear on the surface, which is a granular erosion; afterwards the unevenness of the erosion surface becomes more obvious and papillae appear on the surface, which is a papillary erosion.

After pathological cervical erosion occurs, there will often be increased and sticky leucorrhea, milky white or light yellow purulent secretions, sometimes bloody or mixed with blood; the vulva may be irritated by increased leucorrhea and may develop vulvitis or vaginitis, causing itching and pain; when the inflammation is severe, it may spread along the uterosacral ligament and cardinal ligament to cause pelvic connective tissue inflammation, causing pain in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral region, accompanied by a feeling of falling; when the inflammation spreads to the bladder triangle or around the bladder, frequent urination or difficulty urinating may occur, and sexual intercourse may also cause contact bleeding or odor.

Frequent or difficult urination.

When the inflammation spreads to the trigone or around the bladder, frequent urination or difficulty urinating may occur.

Increased leucorrhea.

Increased vaginal discharge is the most important characteristic of the early symptoms of cervical erosion, and other gynecological diseases may also cause increased vaginal discharge. But unlike other gynecological diseases, the leucorrhea caused by cervical erosion is milky white or light yellow purulent secretion, and sometimes bloody or mixed with blood.

Itching and pain in the vulva.

Since increased vaginal discharge can irritate the vulva and vagina, it can cause women to suffer from vulvitis or vaginitis, causing the patient to experience severe itching and pain in the vulva and vagina.

Above we introduced the various symptoms of uterine erosion. After knowing what the symptoms of uterine erosion are, we can choose to go to the hospital for timely examination according to our abnormal symptoms. If it is confirmed to be uterine erosion, we must avoid letting our uterus erode again. Therefore, timely drug treatment is necessary, and uterine erosion must be treated surgically when necessary.
