Low-grade cervical lesions

Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers in clinical practice today, and its mortality rate ranks among the highest among all cancers. Cervical cancer is mostly caused by the gradual evolution of cervical erosion. Clinically, cervical erosion is divided into low, medium and high levels. The higher the level, the more serious the condition. A biopsy should be performed during the illness to detect whether there is a possibility of cancer, and treatment should be provided as soon as possible if possible. This article introduces the dangers of cervical lesions. Let’s learn about it together.

1. What is low-grade cervical lesion? This is an evaluation of the degree of cervical erosion accompanied by atypical hyperplasia. The higher the degree, the more serious it is, and the greater the possibility of developing into cervical cancer. In this case, a biopsy is required for low-grade cervical lesions, mainly to prevent cancer. Even if the disease is cured in time, it is best to have a follow-up check to see if it has become cancerous.

2. What are cervical lesions?

43. Cervical lesions refer to various lesions occurring in the cervical area, including inflammation, injury, tumors (and precancerous lesions), deformities and endometriosis, etc. Therefore, cervical lesions do not only include precancerous lesions of the cervix, such as various degrees of atypical hyperplasia of the cervix.

3. The harm of cervical lesions

1. Cause infertility: Cervical erosion, especially moderate and severe cervical erosion, will significantly increase cervical secretions, which are viscous and mixed with a large number of white blood cells. They can phagocytize sperm and have a very adverse effect on the normal activity of sperm, hindering the sperm from entering the uterine cavity and affecting conception.

2. Leading to complications: After suffering from cervical erosion, it will cause inflammation of other organs. For example, the pathogens of cervical erosion can cause endometritis and spread through the parauterine ligaments and lymphatic vessels, causing chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. If the inflammation spreads to the bladder triangle, it will also cause urinary system diseases, resulting in symptoms such as urinary pain, frequent urination, and difficulty urinating.

3. Cause deeper lesions: Due to the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, it will cause deeper diseases such as polyps, lacerations, eversions, cysts, etc.

4. Canceration: Canceration is very scary. The incidence of cervical cancer in women with cervical erosion is nearly 10 times higher than that in women without cervical erosion. Under the influence of long-term chronic inflammation, the columnar epithelium formed by the proliferation of the cervical canal will undergo atypical hyperplasia. If timely treatment measures are not taken, it will move towards cervical cancer. Cervical erosion is usually accompanied by HPV infection, which is also one of the signals that cause cervical cancer. Usually this development process takes 5 to 10 years.
