Will vaginal delivery aggravate cervical erosion?

Many women are diagnosed with gynecological diseases during pregnancy. At this time, women will be very anxious and afraid that their gynecological diseases will affect the fetus. Some women choose to receive treatment after delivery because their gynecological diseases are not serious. Will natural childbirth aggravate cervical erosion? Natural childbirth is a way for women to give birth and will not have any effect on cervical erosion. Let's learn about it together.

1. Will vaginal delivery cause cervical erosion?

Natural childbirth does not necessarily lead to cervical erosion, but it does not mean that friends who give birth naturally are not at risk of cervical erosion. Cervical erosion is not an independent disease, but a manifestation of chronic cervicitis caused by human papillomavirus infection. The causes of the disease include mechanical stimulation or injury, such as sexual intercourse, abortion and delivery lacerations and bacterial invasion causing cervicitis; pathogen invasion, commonly general pyogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus aureus, Gonorrhea, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, viruses, actinomycetes, Trichomonas, and Ameba can all cause cervicitis.

2. The main causes of cervical erosion:

1. Sexual activity too early and too many sexual partners. Premarital sex is a common phenomenon among young people today. Premature sexual activity, frequent changes of sexual partners, and excessive sexual intensity (more than 4 times a week) are causes of cervical erosion that cannot be ignored.

2. Unclean sexual life. Since premarital sex is mostly kept secret, and young people do not have a stable source of income and cannot create a stable and clean sexual environment, the chances of getting sick are greatly increased.

3. Multiple artificial abortions. Multiple abortions, diagnostic curettage, cervical dilation and other gynecological surgeries caused by premarital sex may lead to cervical injury or inflammation, and ultimately cause cervical erosion.

4. Excessive vaginal cleaning. There are many female cleaning products on the market. If they are not chosen properly and a high concentration of disinfectant is used to flush the vagina, it will not only affect the growth of normal vaginal flora and reduce its ability to inhibit bacteria, but it will also cause varying degrees of cervical epithelial damage and eventually erosion.

3. How to prevent cervical erosion

Regular examination of the cervix is ​​necessary, not to prevent cervical erosion, but to prevent cervical cancer. The occurrence of cervical cancer is related to infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). Some patients infected with high-risk HPV are prone to precancerous lesions and cervical cancer when they are persistently infected at the squamous-columnar junction of the cervix.

Since the advent of cervical smear testing, the mortality rate of cervical cancer has dropped significantly. The key is early prevention and treatment. It is currently recommended that women over the age of 21 should undergo a cervical smear test once a year. After the age of 30, an HPV test can be combined. If three consecutive HPV and cervical smear tests are negative, the interval can be extended to once every three years. Screening can be stopped after the age of 65.
