The uterus includes the uterine body and cervix, as well as the fallopian tubes and ovaries on both sides. These tissues and organs, together with the vagina, form an important reproductive system in women. If one of these tissues and organs is damaged, it may affect female fertility. Cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease, and some women want to know how cervical erosion is caused?
Cervical erosion has two factors: physiological and pathological. Physiological cervical erosion mainly occurs in young and unmarried women. Due to the stimulation of high levels of estrogen in the body, the columnar epithelium of the cervical canal migrates outward. When the cervix is observed with the naked eye, it appears red and granular, with a shape very similar to erosion. There is no need to worry about cervical erosion caused by physiological factors.
Cervical erosion caused by pathological factors is mainly due to the long-term inability to cure inflammation in women. The cervix is often stimulated by inflammation, which can cause the original squamous epithelium on the surface of the cervix to fall off and be covered by columnar epithelial hyperplasia in the cervical canal, resulting in erosion. For cervical erosion caused by pathological factors, anti-inflammatory treatment must be carried out as soon as possible, otherwise it will bring serious harm to women.
After women suffer from cervical erosion, cervical secretions will increase and the secreted substances will be very viscous, causing sperm to be unable to enter the uterus and combine with eggs through the cervix. At the same time, inflammation will cause the cervix to secrete a large number of white blood cells, which will hinder the survival of sperm and even kill sperm, leading to infertility in women. Moreover, women with cervical erosion are prone to developing polyps, eversion, lacerations, cysts and other diseases due to prolonged inflammation stimulation.
