Can I get cervicitis if I don't have sex?

There are many reasons for cervical erosion. Some women suffer from it because they do not maintain good environmental hygiene during sexual life. The incidence of cervical erosion is very high in gynecology, so ladies must improve these preventive measures to avoid the occurrence of cervical erosion. Will asexuality lead to cervical erosion?

Will asexuality lead to cervical erosion?

Cervical erosion is not a separate disease, but a form of chronic cervicitis, which is caused by human papillomavirus infection. The causes of the disease include reflex stimulation or injury, such as sexual intercourse, miscarriage and childbirth lacerations during pregnancy and erosion of bacteria leading to cervicitis. Pathogens are generally common pyogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Gonorrhea, Tuberculosis, Virus, Actinomycetes, Trichomonas, Ameba can cause cervicitis.

Key causes of cervical erosion :

1. Sexual activity too early and too many sexual partners. Today's young people generally live together before marriage. Too early sexual life, frequent changes of sexual partners and excessive intensity of sexual life (more than 4 times a week) are the causes of cervical erosion that cannot be ignored.

2. Unclean sexual life. Because most of the cohabitation before marriage is in a secretive state, and young people do not have a stable source of income, it is impossible to create a stable and clean living environment for couples, and the probability of getting sick will be greatly increased.

3. Several abortion surgeries. Multiple abortions, diagnostic curettage, cervical dilation and other minimally invasive gynecological surgeries caused by cohabitation before marriage may cause cervical damage or inflammation, and ultimately lead to cervical erosion.

4. Excessive vaginal cleanliness. There are many female cleaning products on the market at present. If they are not selected properly and high-concentration disinfectants are used to flush the vagina, it will not only affect the growth of normal beneficial bacteria in the vagina and reduce its ability to inhibit pathogens, but also cause varying degrees of cervical epithelial cell damage and eventually cause erosion.

How to treat cervical erosion

1. Drug treatment: Suitable for patients with a small total erosion area and shallow inflammation. Antibiotics can be used for partial application. Traditional Chinese medicine is widely used in clinical medicine to treat cervical erosion, and the effect is also very good. Some secret recipes and secret recipes are often used to process them into medicine powder or suppositories, which are placed on cotton wool and applied to the eroded surface.

2. Physical therapy: It is a very commonly used treatment method at this stage, with the advantages of short treatment course and good effect. It is suitable for patients with a large erosion area and deep inflammation. Common methods include electric ironing, laser therapy, and cold therapy.

3. Traditional surgical treatment: If the above treatment is ineffective, or there is cervical hypertrophy, or the erosion is deep and extensive, and has invaded the cervical canal, traditional surgical treatments such as total hysterectomy can be considered. However, surgical treatment is rarely used nowadays.

4. High-frequency LEEP technique: The tissue specimens are collected in detail, which is not likely to cause the tissue to be elongated or carbonized during traditional electrosurgical cutting. Intact tissue specimens can be collected without affecting pathological examination.

5. BBT ablation: BBT ablation is a very delicate surgical treatment for cervical erosion. It not only does not damage the surrounding tissues, but is also painless during the treatment process and leaves no scars after the operation. It can also effectively prevent complications such as bleeding or infection, and has the advantage of not affecting fertility after the operation.
