What are the symptoms of cervical erosion?

Cervical erosion usually refers to ectopic cervical columnar epithelium. In most cases, there are no obvious symptoms. In a few cases, symptoms such as contact bleeding and increased secretions may occur. Cervical columnar epithelial ectopia may be related to changes in estrogen levels, chronic inflammatory stimulation and other factors. Regular gynecological examinations are recommended.

Cervical columnar epithelial ectopia is a physiological change that occurs in most women when estrogen levels rise, and usually does not cause discomfort. Some women may experience a small amount of vaginal bleeding after sex. This is due to the fragile surface tissue of the cervix. Some women may notice an increase in the amount of leucorrhea, but the color and smell are generally normal and will not be accompanied by obvious itching or burning sensation.

If symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, yellowish or odorous secretions, and vulvar itching occur, it may be related to pathological factors such as cervicitis and vaginitis. At this time, timely medical examination is required. The doctor may recommend cervical cytology or HPV testing, and if necessary, use Baofukang suppository, Xiaomi suppository and other drug treatments.

In daily life, you should pay attention to keeping the vulva clean and dry, and avoid using irritating lotions to rinse the vagina. It is recommended to choose cotton breathable underwear and change them regularly. Have an annual gynecological examination, including cervical cancer screening. Avoid multiple sexual partners and unprotected sex to reduce the risk of infection. Do not self-medicate when abnormal symptoms occur, and seek medical treatment in a regular hospital in time.
