Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling constant pain in my lower abdomen and soreness in my waist. My external genitalia and vaginal opening are extremely itchy, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Could you please explain: How does cervical erosion occur?Doctor's answer:
1. Cross-infection caused by induced abortion is a major factor leading to cervical erosion, which is the primary cause of recurrent cervical erosion. Repeated induced abortions can cause varying degrees of cervical damage, providing an opportunity for bacteria to thrive, leading to cervical inflammation. Due to the influence of inflammation, local secretions increase, and prolonged exposure of the cervix to inflammatory secretions can result in erosion.2. Unclean sexual practices can lead to cervical erosion. Before sexual intercourse, if a man does not clean his genitalia, it is easy for bacteria to be introduced into the vagina, potentially infecting the cervix. For patients with cervical erosion, in addition to immediate treatment, it is essential to pay attention to self-care measures, such as maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
