Patient's question:
Actually, it's usually fine, but I always get sick after my period. The specific symptoms are itching in the private area and a heavy, lower abdominal pain. Is this condition caused by inflammation? Please ask: What are the causes of cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is caused by inflammatory stimulation or hormonal interference, leading to the shedding of exposed squamous epithelial cells of the cervix, while the columnar epithelial cells of the cervical canal grow outward to replace the shedded squamous epithelium. Since the columnar epithelium is thin and translucent, the blood vessels of the cervical stroma can be seen through, making this area appear red, which is clinically referred to as erosion. In fact, this condition is a pseudo-erosion, and in some cases, it may not require treatment. Pay attention to hygiene, maintain clean external genitalia, and minimize vaginal surgical operations to prevent bacteria from penetrating through damaged areas, thereby avoiding pelvic infections. The recurrence of cervical erosion severely affects women's health, and patients need to pay attention to postmenstrual follow-up, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. It is hoped that female patients can receive effective treatment.
