There is a little erosion of the cervix

Cervical erosion is a type of gynecological inflammation, which is divided into mild cervical erosion and severe cervical erosion according to the degree of cervical erosion. Many women find that their cervix is ​​slightly eroded during a physical examination. This is mild cervical erosion. The symptoms of mild cervical erosion generally include slight redness, swelling and itching of the genitals. If it continues to develop, it will turn into severe cervical erosion, so timely treatment is required. So, what should you do if your cervix is ​​slightly eroded?

Will mild cervical erosion heal on its own?

1. Mild cervical erosion can cause infection and other diseases

Mild cervical erosion is the mildest type of erosive inflammation, but it does not mean that it can be left untreated. It requires timely treatment. Mild cervical erosion will not heal on its own and must be treated to be cured. If mild cervical erosion is not treated in time, it may lead to worsening of inflammation and turn into moderate cervical erosion or severe cervical erosion, and even cause the spread of inflammation and infection, leading to pelvic inflammatory disease, adnexitis, etc., and may also cause infertility. Therefore, mild cervical erosion must be treated thoroughly.

2. The incidence of patients with mild cervical erosion is much higher than that of ordinary people

According to expert analysis, the incidence rate of women with mild cervical erosion is nearly ten times higher than that of the general population. Under the stimulation of long-term chronic inflammation, the columnar epithelium derived from the hyperplasia of the cervical canal may undergo atypical hyperplasia. If it is not treated promptly and correctly, it will gradually develop into cervical precancerous lesions. Because cervical erosion is often accompanied by HPV infection, cervical erosion is one of the suspicious signals causing cervical cancer.

3. It can cause inflammation in other organs

When suffering from mild cervical erosion, it will cause inflammation of other organs. For example, the pathogens of cervical erosion can ascend to cause endometritis; it can spread through the parauterine ligaments and lymphatic vessels to cause chronic pelvic inflammatory disease; when the inflammation spreads to the bladder triangle, it can cause urinary system diseases and cause irritating symptoms such as urinary pain, frequent urination or difficulty urinating, which can cause deeper lesions. Due to long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, deeper diseases such as polyps, lacerations, eversions and cysts may occur.

How to prevent cervical erosion

1. Maintain good hygiene in sexual life

Since this disease is directly related to sexual life, sexual hygiene must be taken seriously. Before any intimate activity, you should maintain good personal and partner hygiene. If you are infected with some kind of vaginal inflammation, don't forget to take your partner to the hospital for treatment while you are getting treatment. Because inflammation is often cross-infected, even if you are able to recover, if your partner's genitals still carry the bacteria, you are still prone to relapse. In addition to preparing a care solution for yourself, also prepare a male care solution for your man and urge him to clean himself before any intimate behavior.

It should be noted that it is very important for men to clean the smegma. There are many bacteria in the smegma, which may become carcinogens.

2. Private cleaning should be done properly

Do not clean your private parts frequently, as this will damage the vagina's self-protection function and allow bacteria to enter. Feminine care liquid can only be used for daily cleaning and not frequently.

3. About wearing and washing underwear

It is best to use pure cotton underwear for women. Firstly, it will make your private parts feel comfortable. Secondly, germs prefer chemical fiber fabrics because these materials will make the private parts moist and hot, which is exactly the environment for germs to survive.

When washing, be sure to wash separately. If a family member has athlete's foot or onychomycosis, it is easy for the bacteria to attach to your underwear and enter the vagina, so you should wash your underwear separately to make your underwear safer. In addition, some women are very dependent on washing machines. Washing machines are very convenient, but they contain a lot of germs. Therefore, the washing machine should be cleaned every week and scrubbed with hot water to make it clean. Of course, hand washing is best.

4. Effective contraception

If you are not prepared to get pregnant, taking contraceptive measures can reduce the possibility of miscarriage and thus reduce the possibility of developing this disease.

5. Regular gynecological examinations

This is something that many women ignore, and if it continues for a long time it will cause serious gynecological inflammation. Only by doing regular check-ups and actively cooperating with the doctor's treatment can you effectively avoid inflammation and even cancer.

6. Antibiotic moderation

Some female friends choose to use antibiotics when they catch a cold or a headache. In fact, antibiotics will kill some beneficial bacteria, giving pathogens a chance to stay in the body. Therefore, it is best to follow the doctor's instructions and not use antibiotics indiscriminately.
