What are the causes of cervical erosion? Cervical erosion is the most common disease among women. It is more commonly seen in married women and those who are physically weak. In fact, cervical erosion does not belong to real erosion. When the ectocervix epithelium falls off and is replaced by another type of epithelial tissue from the cervical os, due to the thinness of the new epithelium, one can even see the blood vessels and red tissues underneath, which looks like real erosion, hence the name cervical erosion. So what are the causes of cervical erosion? Clinically, according to the area of the eroded surface, cervical erosion can be divided into three degrees: mild, moderate, and severe. Once cervical erosion occurs, there will often be an increase in vaginal discharge, which tends to be viscous. Sometimes it has an abnormal smell, occasionally purulent or bloody discharge. Symptoms such as lower back pain, abdominal pain, and a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen are also quite common. Moreover, contact bleeding may occur during sexual intercourse.
Cervical erosion has a certain relationship with sexual activity. It is necessary to remind you that although cervical erosion is more common in married women, this does not mean that unmarried women do not have the possibility of cervical erosion. Besides childbirth, abortion, infection, and surgical operations, all of which can cause cervical erosion, sexual intercourse can also cause some degree of damage to the cervix, thereby leading to symptoms.
Some women are very particular about hygiene but lack the necessary knowledge. They often use high-concentration cleaning solutions to rinse the vagina, which often leads to counterproductive results. Because doing so not only affects the normal growth of the vaginal flora and reduces its ability to inhibit pathogenic bacteria, but also causes varying degrees of injury to the cervical epithelium, ultimately leading to erosion.
What are the causes of cervical erosion? There are mainly four causes:
1. Excessive cleaning: Nowadays, there are many female cleaning products on the market. If chosen improperly, using a high-concentration disinfectant solution to rinse the vagina not only affects the normal growth of the vaginal flora and reduces its ability to inhibit pathogens, but also causes varying degrees of injury to the cervical epithelium, eventually leading to erosion.
2. Multiple artificial abortions: Premarital sexual behavior leading to multiple artificial abortions, diagnostic curettage, cervical dilation surgery, and other gynecological surgeries can all lead to cervical injury or inflammation, eventually causing cervical erosion.
3. Early sexual activity, too many sexual partners: Premarital sexual behavior is now widespread among young people. Early sexual activity, frequent changes in sexual partners, and excessive sexual activity (more than four times a week) are significant reasons for cervical erosion. Many young men and women have intense sexual activity. Intense sexual activity refers to having sex more than four times a week. Intense sexual activity can easily cause cervical damage. Long-term direct contact between the penis and the cervix can cause infection if the male does not clean his external genitalia properly. Moreover, having sex more than four times a week puts significant pressure on the cervix, eventually leading to chronic cervicitis, and cervical erosion is the most common pathological manifestation of chronic cervicitis.
4. Unhygienic sexual activity: Since premarital sexual activity mostly takes place in secret and young people do not have a stable economic source, they cannot create a stable and clean sexual living environment, thus greatly increasing the chance of getting sick.
5. Menstruation lasting too long: Studies show that the degree of cervical erosion is related to the menstrual cycle and the number of days it lasts. Women with shorter cycles and longer periods are more likely to develop cervical erosion.
Cervical Health Tips:
1. Avoid overusing antibiotics - Coughing, fever, headache, just take antibiotics? Little do you know, antibiotics may suppress some beneficial bacteria, allowing pathogens to multiply. Therefore, the use of antibiotics should be handled with great care.
2. Wash underwear separately - Pathogens can proliferate on the skin surface, gastrointestinal tract, under the nails, etc. If family members or oneself have athlete's foot, gray nails, etc., it can easily cause cross-infection of pathogens. Therefore, underwear must be washed separately, preferably soaked in a dedicated underwear sterilizing liquid for a few minutes.
3. Avoid excessive cleaning - Frequent use of medicinal washes, disinfectant pads, etc., can easily destroy the weakly acidic environment of the vagina. The weakly acidic environment of the vagina can maintain its self-cleaning function. Jiaoyan Ph4 weak acid formula female cleansing solution is more suitable for daily cleaning and maintenance.
4. Pay attention to prenatal care - During pregnancy, the levels of sex hormones, sugar in the vagina, and acidity will increase, making it easy to be invaded by fungi. For pregnant women, oral drugs should not be used, but local prevention and auxiliary treatment plans should be selected.
5. Beware of washing machines - Almost every washing machine drum harbors pathogens! And the more frequently the washing machine is used, the more pathogens there are! However, don't worry, there is a foolproof way to deal with the pathogens in the washing machine: wash the drum with water around 60°C! Clean regularly with laundry sterilizing liquid!
6. Pay attention to hygiene in public places - Public places may hide a large number of pathogens. When traveling, do not use hotel bathtubs, wear long pajamas, put down toilet paper before using the toilet, etc. At the same time, choose Jiaoyan personal cleaning and care products, and female sanitary wet wipes are convenient to carry.
7. Correct contraception - Estrogen in contraceptives promotes the invasion of pathogens. If vaginitis and cervicitis recur, try not to use drug contraception.
8. Both partners should be treated - If you get vaginitis and cervicitis, both you and your partner need treatment to achieve expected results. While you use female care liquid daily, don't forget to prepare a male care liquid for him.
Wear cotton underwear - Tight synthetic underwear increases the temperature and humidity of the vagina, which is a "happy" living environment for pathogens! Choose cotton underwear!
9. Control blood sugar, correctly clean the vulva - Female diabetics have high glycogen content in the vagina. Glycogen fermentation produces alkaline substances, shifting the normal vaginal pH from 3.5-4.5 to 5.5, destroying the self-cleaning function of the vagina, making it susceptible to pathogen invasion. Therefore, while controlling blood sugar, pay attention to choosing Ph4 weak acid formula female care liquid when cleaning the vulva daily.
Warm reminder: Women should pay attention to their own health and hygiene, wishing you a speedy recovery.
