Is it true that having an abortion can cause cervical erosion?

The idea that abortion can cause cervical erosion sounds hard to accept. But it is real. Many women do not take care of their bodies and have abortions at a very young age. But they don’t know how much harm this behavior of not taking care of their bodies will bring to themselves. Abortion can cause cervical erosion, which is the harm that abortion brings to the body. So we should be more aware of the dangers of abortion. Let me take you to learn some knowledge.

Cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease. The causes of the disease include mechanical stimulation or injury, such as sexual intercourse, miscarriage and childbirth lacerations, and bacterial invasion causing cervicitis. When suffering from mild cervical erosion, patients generally have no obvious symptoms. There may only be a slight increase in leucorrhea, which is often easily ignored.

Many patients are found to have cervical erosion during the general survey or when they visit the doctor for other gynecological diseases. The most obvious symptoms of patients with moderate and severe cervical erosion are increased leucorrhea, yellow and sticky, or blood in the leucorrhea. A few patients may bleed after sexual intercourse. Inflammatory leucorrhea can stimulate the vulva for a long time and cause vulvar pruritus.

In addition, since the cervical lymphatic vessels are directly connected to the paracervical connective tissue, inflammation can spread to the pelvic cavity through the lymphatic circulation, leading to pelvic connective tissue inflammation, and symptoms such as lumbar pain, lower abdominal distension, etc. Infertility in a small number of patients may also be caused by cervical erosion. For the treatment of moderate and severe cervical erosion, physical therapy is still better, such as laser, microwave, Bom light, red light, LEEP knife, etc.

If you have cervical erosion after an abortion, you are prohibited from having sexual intercourse or taking a bath. You must pay attention to hygiene, get more rest, and strengthen your nutrition. You are prohibited from taking a bath, having sexual intercourse, and doing vaginal douching treatments while the wound has not healed (4-8 weeks). You must have regular checkups after the operation. If you have cervical erosion, your doctor will give you some anti-inflammatory treatment before the operation to prevent the inflammation during the operation from being brought into the uterine cavity. After the abortion, you will receive systematic treatment for cervical erosion. If you have cervical erosion, you should treat it first and then have an abortion.

For mild and moderate cervical erosion, if the eroded surface is not bright red, obviously congested or easy to bleed, treatment can be performed as needed before surgery. If congestion is obvious, the vagina needs to be flushed for 3 to 5 days before surgery, 1 to 2 times a day. After flushing, antibiotic suppositories can be inserted into the vagina. After reexamination, artificial abortion can be performed after the cervical inflammation is alleviated. If severe cervical erosion occurs, treatment must be carried out before surgery. Generally speaking, the larger the erosion area, the more severe the cervical inflammation.

Cervical erosion is a very serious gynecological disease. If it lasts for a long time, it may even cause infertility. Therefore, we should understand that we should not have an abortion easily. We should learn to love ourselves first and then love others. How can a woman who doesn't even love herself love others? It is true that cervical erosion may occur during abortion, but not everyone will experience it.
