Picture of third degree uterine erosion

Gynecologists often say "nine out of ten women suffer from cervical erosion". With the increase in the incidence of cervical erosion, many patients have cervical erosion attacks and third-degree cervical erosion, so they will ask if cervical erosion can be cured? In response to patients' concerns, let us take a look at the following detailed introduction: what is third degree cervical erosion, the symptoms of third degree cervical erosion, the causes of third degree cervical erosion, the high-risk groups for third degree cervical erosion, the harm of third degree cervical erosion, and the prevention and treatment of third degree cervical erosion.

What is cervical erosion of the third degree?

Cervical erosion is the most common type of gynecological disease and is the most common partial feature in the whole process of chronic uterine inflammatory disease. In clinical medicine, cervical erosion is divided into grades I, II, and III according to the size of the total area of ​​cervical erosion, and can also be divided into mild, moderate, and severe grades.

Cervical erosion can be divided into three types based on its main manifestations: simple erosion is common in the early stage of inflammation, the erosion surface is covered by unilateral columnar epithelial cells, and the outer skin is relatively smooth and clean; if the inflammation persists, the cervical epithelial cells will proliferate excessively, the erosion surface will be uneven, and the appearance will be granular, which is granular erosion; if the glandular epithelium and stroma proliferate significantly, the unevenness will be more obvious, and it will be papillary, which is papillary erosion. These three types can exist independently or overlap and coexist.

The third degree of cervical erosion is the most serious level of cervical erosion, and the total area of ​​erosion has exceeded 2/3 of the surface of the cervix; the third degree of cervical erosion leads to a greatly increased probability of infertility and lesions. Some women have raised this question: If cervical erosion is not treated, will the entire cervix rot? In fact, cervical erosion is not real erosion. This is because after suffering from chronic cervicitis, the existing inflammation in the superficial tissue of the cervix is ​​not easy to be eliminated, the squamous epithelium on the surface of the cervix falls off due to hypofunction, and the peeling surface is gradually covered by columnar epithelial cells formed by endocervical hyperplasia. Because the columnar epithelium is very thin, the underlying blood vessels and red interstitial tissue can be seen, making the eroded surface red and having a clear boundary with the surrounding normal squamous epithelium.
