Why Does Cervical Erosion Recur?
Cervical erosion is a form of chronic cervical inflammation and one of the common gynecological diseases in women. Many patients with cervical erosion have been treated for several years without complete cure, and the condition recurs repeatedly, bringing endless troubles and pain to the patients.
So, why does cervical erosion recur?
Gynecological experts introduce: There are multiple reasons for the recurrence of cervical erosion in women, and the common reasons are as follows:
[1] Older age: According to statistics, women under 30 years old have a lower recurrence rate after treatment for cervical erosion; whereas women over 30 years old have a higher recurrence rate.
[2] Frequent sexual activity: In the general population survey, those who have sexual activity more than 3-4 times per week have a relatively higher recurrence rate of cervical erosion. Repeated artificial abortions can cause damage to the cervix, and if repeated abortions occur, the cervix will be damaged multiple times, which is also one of the reasons for the recurrence of cervical erosion after treatment.
[3] Repeated artificial abortion: During an artificial abortion, the cervix is injured. If repeated abortions occur, the cervix will be damaged multiple times, which is also one of the causes of recurrence after treatment for cervical erosion.
[4] Incomplete treatment of cervical erosion: During physical treatments such as laser, electrocautery, or microwave therapy, if the treatment is too superficial or the range is too limited, it may fail to completely destroy the pathological tissue at the eroded area, leading to residual pathological tissue that can cause recurrence.
[5] Severe lesions: The larger the area of cervical erosion, the higher the recurrence rate after treatment. Women with mild and moderate cervical erosion have a higher cure rate and lower recurrence rate; whereas women with severe cervical erosion have a lower cure rate and higher recurrence rate.
[6] Sexually transmitted diseases: With the opening up to the outside world, sexually transmitted diseases from abroad have also entered our country, and the number of STD patients has been increasing year by year. Diseases like gonorrhea, chlamydia infection of the reproductive tract, and genital warts, etc., these pathogens can invade cervical epithelial cells, causing cervical inflammation and leading to cervical erosion.
[7] Abnormal local immunity: Some people believe that each partner's sperm and bacteria brought during intercourse will cause a specific immune invasion. The ability of the cervical local immune response increases proportionally with the number of sexual partners. In other words, women with extramarital sexual behavior or too many sexual partners may also promote the recurrence of cervical erosion after treatment.
Recommended Technology - "LEEP Knife Technology"
Super high-frequency Leep knife technology uses super high-frequency wave technology to effectively treat moderate to severe cervical erosion, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, and early-stage carcinoma in situ among various cervical diseases. Super high-frequency Leep knife technology can achieve very precise surgical results, and it will not produce tissue pulling or carbonization phenomena. While treating cervical diseases, it can obtain complete tissue samples, ensuring the accuracy of lesion diagnosis and avoiding missed diagnoses. It is the preferred method for treating cervical erosion.
