What causes gynecological cervical erosion?

Nowadays, everyone is busy pursuing their quality of life, and few people can really care about their health index. Especially gynecological diseases that many female friends often suffer from, I hope to attract everyone's attention and not forget that they need to protect themselves the most. Today, I would like to analyze with you the issue of what causes cervical erosion.

Cervical erosion was once a disease that troubled many women. If you go for a physical examination, you will almost certainly be diagnosed with cervical erosion. In 2008, the 7th edition of the undergraduate textbook "Obstetrics and Gynecology" cancelled the disease name "cervical erosion" and replaced it with the physiological phenomenon of "cervical columnar epithelium ectopia". Cervical erosion, after all, is actually a misunderstanding of a normal manifestation of the cervix in the past.

Cervical columnar epithelium ectopia does not require any treatment, and many current methods of treating cervical erosion are wrong. But for symptomatic cervicitis, treatment is needed. Acute inflammation is treated with suppositories, while chronic inflammation can be treated with physical therapy such as laser or freezing.

Regular examination of the cervix is ​​necessary, not to prevent cervical erosion, but to prevent cervical cancer. The occurrence of cervical cancer is related to infection with human papillomavirus. Some patients infected with high-risk HPV are prone to precancerous lesions and cervical cancer when the infection persists in the squamous-columnar junction area of ​​the cervix. Since the advent of cervical smear testing, the mortality rate of cervical cancer has dropped significantly. The key is early prevention and treatment. It is currently recommended that women over the age of 21 should undergo a cervical smear test once a year. After the age of 30, an HPV test can be combined. If three consecutive HPV and cervical smear tests are negative, the interval can be extended to once every three years. Screening can be stopped after the age of 65.

I wonder if you have your own understanding of what causes cervical erosion after reading the basic and scientific explanations I gave above. In fact, cervical erosion and patellar erosion are terrible. What is terrible is that after living with them for such a long time, we still do not pay attention to their existence. Women's health directly affects their happiness index.
