What are the characteristics of cervical erosion?

Cervical erosion is a gynecological disease that many women are familiar with, and every woman knows the harmfulness of cervical erosion. But sometimes it is still difficult to prevent. The main reason is that we are not particularly familiar with the characteristics of cervical erosion, so it is difficult to detect this disease in the first time. It is recommended that women should understand the characteristics of cervical erosion. I hope my introduction can give you some inspiration.

Symptoms of cervical erosion appear in the early stages, but patients often fail to detect and seek medical treatment in time due to negligence, missing the best time for treatment. The symptoms of cervical erosion are also very common gynecological diseases. The following characteristics mainly need to be paid enough attention.

What is cervical erosion

The cervix is ​​divided into the internal opening and the external opening. The epithelium of the inner opening is a thin, red columnar cell that secretes mucus, and the outer opening is covered by pink squamous epithelium and lines the vagina. The delicate columnar epithelium is easily infected. When long-term chronic inflammation occurs, the squamous epithelium of the external os of the cervix will be covered by columnar epithelium. The columnar epithelium is very thin. If the capillaries and red stroma underneath are seen, a red area will appear with a clear boundary from the surrounding squamous epithelium, which is called cervical erosion.

1. Abnormal leucorrhea

Increased vaginal discharge is the main symptom of cervical erosion. Usually the vaginal discharge is milky white or light yellow purulent secretions, sometimes bloody or mixed with blood.

2. Vulvar itching

The vulva and vagina are irritated by the increase of leucorrhea, which may lead to vulvitis or vaginitis, causing itching and pain in the vulva or vagina. It is accompanied by the above-mentioned abnormal leucorrhea, which is also a symptom and complication of cervical erosion.

3. Pain

When the inflammation is severe, it can spread along the uterosacral ligament and cardinal ligament and cause pelvic connective tissue inflammation, causing pain in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral region, accompanied by a feeling of falling. The infrequent symptoms of cervical erosion are easily overlooked and thought to be caused by overwork.

4. Urinary tract symptoms

When the inflammation spreads to the trigone or around the bladder, frequent urination or difficulty urinating may occur. This is also a symptom of cervical erosion, but not the only one.

The above article mainly gives a detailed description of the characteristics of cervical erosion. I believe that after reading the above article, everyone will have an in-depth understanding of these basic common sense. I hope that everyone will not only understand them but also remember them in their minds. If you find yourself experiencing some of the above symptoms in the future, you should know that you have cervical erosion and must seek treatment immediately.
