  According to the size of the erosion area, it can be divided into three grades: mild, which means that the erosion area is less than 1/3 of the entire cervical area.; Moderate means that the erosion surface occupies the entire Uterus 1/3-2/3 of the neck area; Severe means that the erosion surface accounts for more than 2/3 of the entire cervix area.

  The main clinical symptom is increased leucorrhea. However, due to the different scope and degree of germs and inflammation, the amount, nature, color and smell of leucorrhea are also different. It can be milky white mucus, sometimes light yellow purulent. When accompanied by polyps, bloody leucorrhea or bleeding after sexual intercourse may occur. When inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity along the uterosacral ligament, there may be lumbosacral pain, pelvic falling pain, and Dysmenorrhea wait. It is often aggravated during menstruation, defecation or sexual intercourse.

  Epidemiology of cervical erosion

  Cervical erosion is female The most common inflammation of the reproductive organs is more common in married women. Chinese medical workers once conducted an epidemiological survey in a city in Hubei and found that the incidence rate of cervical erosion among working married women was as high as 43.89%, of which 70.12% were mild cervical erosion, 27.86% were moderate cervical erosion, and 2.02% were severe cervical erosion. In terms of classification, simple type accounted for the majority, accounting for 56.69%, and papillary type and granular type accounted for 43 and 31% respectively. The incidence is higher among rural women.

  Although cervical erosion is a local lesion, it directly affects women's physical and mental health healthy , cervical erosion not only brings pain to patients, but also causes infertility and cervical cancer (according to data, the incidence rate of cervical cancer is 4.4 times higher than that of normal people). The larger the erosion area, the greater the risk factor. Timely cure of cervical erosion is the last resort.

  Cervical erosion is closely related to sexual life

  Relevant expert surveys believe that cervical erosion is closely related to sexual life. For unmarried women, due to the barrier function of the hymen, there is generally no invasion of foreign objects into the vagina, so cervical erosion rarely occurs. Once you get married and have sexual intercourse, your vagina is relatively "open" and can be invaded by foreign bacteria.

  Of course, normal, hygienic sexual life generally does not bring any harm to women. Because normal semen contains bactericidal substances, it can disinfect the vagina ; At the same time, the female vagina also has a strong self-cleaning physiological function, and it has the ability to naturally resist the invasion of foreign bacteria. If both men and women can carefully clean their external genitalia and perineum before each sexual intercourse, and pay attention to hygiene, it will generally not cause inflammation of the female genitals.

  However, if you do not pay attention to hygiene during sex, bacteria will have an opportunity to invade the vagina. In addition, because women’s cervical glands are complexly branched and the endocervix has many wrinkles, it is difficult to completely remove the infection, which will increase the possibility of women suffering from inflammation of the reproductive organs. It is also reported that the age group with the highest incidence of this disease is 20-30 years old, accounting for 51.71%, followed by 30-40 years old, accounting for 44.20%.

  Although women aged 20-40 years old have high estrogen levels and have a certain vaginal self-cleaning effect, due to frequent sexual life during this period, the chances of bacterial infection and mechanical damage increase significantly, and trichomonas Vaginitis The incidence rates of fungal vaginitis, fungal vaginitis, and non-specific vaginitis have also increased simultaneously, providing a "hotbed" for cervical erosion. Furthermore, multiple sexual partners, menstrual sex, excessive sexual stimulation, etc. are also factors that cannot be ignored leading to cervical erosion.

  Cervical erosion is related to menstruation

  According to statistics, the occurrence of cervical erosion is also related to the menstrual cycle and the number of days it lasts: the prevalence rate of those with a menstrual cycle ≤20 days is 81.80%, and the prevalence rate of those with a menstrual cycle ≥20 days is 43.81%. There is a very significant difference between the two.; The prevalence of menstruation lasting ≤2 days was only 33.33%, while the prevalence of menstruation lasting ≥8 days was 83.33%, which was a significant difference.

  More importantly, women can suffer from cervical lacerations of varying degrees during childbirth or miscarriage, which opens the door for pathogenic bacteria to cause cervical inflammation in the future. Due to the stimulation of inflammation, local secretions increase, and long-term immersion of the cervix in inflammatory secretions will cause erosion. Repeated artificial abortions, diagnostic dilation and curettage, cervical dilation, etc. Gynecology Surgery may cause cervical damage or inflammation, and ultimately cause cervical erosion.
