In our daily life, cervical erosion is a relatively common gynecological disease. Many female friends are confused by cervical erosion. Do you know what cervical erosion is? What are the symptoms of cervical erosion? Let’s learn about it with the editor.

What is cervical erosion?

Cervical erosion refers to the deviation of the squamous epithelial cells on the outside of the cervical opening and the columnar epithelial cells on the inside of the cervix at the intersection. Cervical erosion is a normal physiological condition caused by growth hormone.

Because the color of the female cervix is ​​red and it looks like erosion like eczema, this condition is called "cervical erosion". In fact, there is no real erosion there. It is just that due to the influence of growth hormone, the squamous epithelial cells on the outside of the cervical os and the columnar epithelial cells on the inside of the cervix are displaced at the junction. Since the columnar epithelial cells are thinner, the blood vessels underneath are often exposed when more columnar epithelial cells are exposed, making the area appear reddish.
