What causes cervical erosion?

Cervical erosion is a very common gynecological disease. Many women have suffered from cervical erosion. Generally, during the illness, there will be more leucorrhea, which is yellow and has an odor. In this case, a good gynecological examination is needed. Some cervical erosions are relatively mild, and many people can't feel it. It may also heal on its own without treatment. However, if it is serious, or has caused some discomfort in the body, you must seek medical attention in time and use medications properly.

There are many reasons that can cause cervical erosion, including frequent abortions, too frequent sexual life, unclean sexual life, and over-cleaning of the vagina and cervix during daily care, etc. During the treatment of the disease, you should also pay more attention to your diet, eat more light food, avoid spicy and irritating food, and avoid excessive stimulation of the affected area to cause other inflammations. Let us introduce the relevant content in detail below.

There are many causes of cervical erosion, the most common ones are the following:

1. 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. Repeated artificial abortion. 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. Excessive 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. Because doing so will not only affect the growth of normal vaginal flora and reduce its ability to inhibit pathogens, but can also cause varying degrees of cervical epithelial damage and eventually erosion. Therefore, the correct way to clean the genitals should be: clean the vulva appropriately, do not flush the vagina unless necessary, maintain the natural defense line of the female reproductive tract, do not destroy the ecological balance in the vagina, and prevent bacteria from causing trouble.

4. Menstruation lasts too long. Studies have shown that cervical erosion is related to the menstrual cycle and the number of days it lasts: women with short cycles or long durations are more likely to develop cervical erosion.

5. Multiple sexual partners and excessive sexual intensity. Multiple sexual partners, sexual intercourse more than 4 times a week, sexual intercourse during menstruation, etc. are also causes of cervical erosion that cannot be ignored.

Everyone knows about cervical erosion, so female friends need to take better care of their bodies, clean them appropriately, and do not use lotions or irritating lotions to clean the vagina frequently, especially take good contraceptive measures to avoid unwanted pregnancies.
