Can unmarried women get cervical erosion?

Unmarried women are also susceptible to various gynecological diseases, such as cervical erosion. This is mainly because unmarried women, if they do not pay attention to reproductive health and hygiene in their lives, or excessively clean themselves, and blindly use some cleaning agents, will affect the acid-base balance of the vagina and cause other reproductive diseases.

1. Expert answer: Cervical erosion is more common in married women. Common symptoms include heavy vaginal discharge that is yellow and sticky. Due to the different time of occurrence of cervical erosion, it can be divided into congenital erosion and acquired erosion. When some unmarried women have a lot of vaginal discharge, they may wonder: Do they have cervical erosion? In fact, if unmarried women develop normally and are in good physical condition, the chance of retrograde infection through the vagina is very small, and the incidence of acquired cervical erosion caused by chronic cervical inflammation is also very low. About 15% to 20% of unmarried women may suffer from congenital cervical erosion. This is because the newborn is affected by the mother's estrogen, causing the junction between the cervical squamous and columnar epithelium to move outward. If this cervical change persists, it becomes congenital cervical erosion, which looks like cervical erosion, but in fact there is no obvious cervical inflammation. Congenital cervical erosion can heal itself due to squamous metaplasia, or it can be secondary to infection and cause cervicitis.

2. Regarding whether it affects pregnancy, experts say that the texture and secretion amount of cervical mucus are directly related to whether sperm can pass through the cervix and enter the uterine cavity. Under normal circumstances, during ovulation, under the action of estrogen, the cervical mucus has a higher water content and a thinner texture, which is conducive to the passage of sperm. When cervical erosion occurs, especially moderate or severe cervical erosion, cervical secretions will increase significantly, become viscous, and contain a large number of white blood cells, which will have an adverse effect on sperm motility and hinder sperm from entering the uterine cavity, thus affecting conception. Generally speaking, mild cervical erosion will not lead to infertility; but if suffering from moderate or severe cervical erosion and infertility, the patient should actively treat it.

3. Because the mother has a history of cervical erosion , and the daughter's symptoms are so similar to those of cervical erosion, experts recommend that the mother bring her daughter for a check-up. If there is no cervical erosion, she can put aside the psychological burden. If there is, timely treatment should be given to avoid worsening of the condition. My daughter has grown up, and it would be best for her to learn more about health care in her daily life.
