The difference between cervicitis and cervical erosion can be seen from the symptoms and causes!

Cervicitis is a common disease among women of childbearing age. It can be divided into acute and chronic types. Chronic cervicitis is the most common type of gynecological disease. Cervical erosion is the most common type of gynecological disease. Both of these diseases are cervical diseases and pose a great threat to women's health. In fact, the difference between the two is very large. Let's take a look!

The difference between the symptoms of cervicitis and cervical erosion:

1. Symptoms of cervicitis

Increased vaginal discharge. Due to different pathogens, scope and degree of inflammation, the vaginal discharge may be milky white mucous, light yellow purulent, sometimes bloody or bleeding after sexual intercourse. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity, lower back pain and pain in the lower abdomen may occur. During gynecological examination, it can be seen that the cervix has varying degrees of erosion, hypertrophy, glandular cysts or polyps.

2. Symptoms of cervical erosion

The main symptom is increased vaginal discharge, which is often purulent. There may be pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral area and bladder irritation symptoms; patients with more severe erosion may have varying degrees of pale bloody secretions, typically bloody secretions after sexual intercourse and thick, purulent secretions in the cervix, which are not conducive to the passage of sperm and cause infertility.

The difference between the causes of cervicitis and cervical erosion:

1. Causes of cervicitis

It occurs after injury to the cervix due to childbirth, miscarriage, or surgery. The main pathogens are Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli and anaerobic bacteria, followed by Gonorrhea and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The protozoa include Trichomonas and Ameba. In special cases, it is caused by chemicals and radiation.

2. Causes of cervical erosion

The causes of the disease include mechanical stimulation or injury, such as sexual intercourse, abortion and delivery lacerations and bacterial invasion, which can cause cervicitis; pathogen invasion, commonly common pyogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Gonorrhea, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, viruses, actinomycetes, Trichomonas, and Ameba can all cause cervicitis
