What are the causes of moderate cervical erosion?

Many women will experience cervical erosion. Cervical erosion can be divided into mild erosion, moderate erosion and severe erosion according to the size of the erosion area. When mild erosion occurs, the symptoms are not very obvious, but if moderate erosion and severe erosion occur, most people will have strong feelings. So what are the causes of moderate cervical erosion? Let’s take a look with the editor!

Unclean sexual life: Once a man and a woman have sexual intercourse, the vagina is in a relatively "open" state. During sexual intercourse, the penis and cervix are in direct contact. If men do not pay attention to sexual hygiene, they can directly bring bacteria into the vagina, infect the cervix, and cause cervical erosion.

Prolonged menstruation: Studies have shown that cervical erosion is related to the menstrual cycle and the number of days it lasts: the prevalence rate for those with a menstrual cycle ≤20 days is 81.80%, and the prevalence rate for those with a menstrual cycle ≥20 days is ≤43.81%; the prevalence rate for those with a menstrual cycle ≤2 days is only 33.33%, and the prevalence rate for those with a menstrual cycle ≥8 days is 83.33%. Therefore, women whose cycles are too short or last too long will have a greater chance of developing cervical erosion. The incidence of erosion can be reduced by prolonging the cycle and shortening the menstrual period.

Multiple artificial abortions: Multiple artificial abortions can cause varying degrees of cervical damage, giving bacteria an opportunity to invade and cause cervicitis. Due to the stimulation of inflammation, local secretions increase, and long-term immersion of the cervix in inflammatory secretions will cause cervical erosion.

Excessive cleaning: Frequently flushing the vagina with a high concentration of disinfectant solution will have the opposite effect. Because doing so will not only affect the growth of normal vaginal flora and reduce its ability to inhibit pathogens, but can also cause varying degrees of cervical epithelial damage and eventually cervical erosion.

From the above, it can be seen that moderate cervical erosion is mainly caused by unclean sexual life, irregular menstruation, multiple abortions or excessive cleaning and other reasons. Moderate cervical erosion is very harmful. It will not only directly lead to infertility, but also may have the possibility of cancer. Therefore, when this disease occurs, it should be treated in time.
