Cervical erosion and cervicitis are common gynecological diseases among women, but because both are cervical diseases, many patients often confuse them and thus delay the treatment of the disease. So what are the specific differences between cervical erosion and cervicitis? Causes Cervicitis occurs after injury to the cervix during childbirth, miscarriage, or surgery. Cervical erosion is caused by different degrees of inflammatory stimulation in the cervix. The columnar epithelium of the cervical mucosa grows slowly, and the epithelium is flat and has a smooth surface. This is simple erosion. When the columnar epithelium grows quickly and forms glandular hyperplasia, it is called adenoid erosion. If the glands are dilated, it may be a follicular erosion, accompanied by stromal hyperplasia, forming small protrusions, which are unevenly covered with columnar epithelium, forming papillary erosions. symptom The main symptom of cervical erosion 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. However, cervicitis is manifested by increased vaginal discharge. Due to different pathogens, scope and degree of inflammation, the vaginal discharge may be milky white mucus, light yellow purulent, and sometimes bloody or cause bleeding after sexual intercourse. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity, lower back pain and pain in the lower abdomen may occur. |
