Many women in gynecological examination, will find that it says "cervical erosion", and even a small part of the severe "cervical erosion". At first glance, this name is really frightening, but in fact, cervical erosion itself is not a disease! No matter you are in mild, moderate or severe, you don't need to worry too much. It's just a normal physiological phenomenon.
Cervical erosion itself is only a naming error in the medical community, which has been corrected as "ectopic columnar epithelium of the cervix" as early as 2008. The cervix itself is similar to the hollow columnar body, and the cervical epithelium is mainly composed of two kinds of epithelial cells, one is the squamous epithelium in the outer side of the cervix, and the other is the cervical tubular columnar epithelium in the inner side of the cervix;
Columnar epithelium itself is relatively thin, and even blood vessels can be clearly seen, its color is bright red as congestion. When the estrogen level in women decreases, the columnar epithelium will shrink in the cervical canal, and the naked eye can see that the smooth squamous epithelium covers the cervix.
On the contrary, because the ovarian function of young women is relatively high, the secretion of estrogen level is higher, the columnar epithelium under the influence of estrogen, will develop toward the lateral side of the cervix, thus forming a everted state.
In the process of columnar epithelium eversion, the visual impact of its tender red color is further expanded, thus giving people a feeling of "erosion". The so-called degree of erosion, but also the degree of physiological changes in the cervix is different.
In addition to the normal changes of estrogen in women, the following three reasons are also the causes of cervical erosion
1. Long term use of emergency contraceptives
Emergency contraceptives are unprotected sex or contraceptive failure, in order to prevent pregnancy and take measures. This kind of medicine is usually through the regulation of female hormone secretion, so as to achieve the effect of contraception. However, if the long-term use of emergency contraceptives, it is easy to lead to endocrine disorders, a large number of estrogen secretion in the body, thus inducing cervical erosion.
2. Unhealthy lifestyle
If women have long-term insomnia, sleep too late, black-and-white reversal and other abnormal life patterns, or life pressure is too big, emotional tension for a long time, it will cause endocrine disorders, thus affecting the columnar epithelium, leading to its eversion.
3. Cervicitis or early canceration
In addition to hormone related reasons, women with acute cervicitis, early cervical cancer or precancerous lesions can also make the cervix show hyperemia erosive state. Especially when the examination of acute cervicitis, there will be obvious performance of cervical congestion.
Therefore, although cervical erosion is only a normal physiological reaction, we should also rule out the possibility of disease leading to this reaction. For example, cervicitis and canceration need further screening and diagnosis. If it is only related to endocrine, there is usually no need for special treatment, as long as reasonable living habits are ensured.
