Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me what causes cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is caused by inflammatory stimulation or hormonal effects leading to the shedding of exposed squamous epithelial cells of the cervix, while cervical tubal columnar epithelial cells grow outward to replace the shedded squamous epithelium. Due to the thin and translucent nature of columnar epithelium, the blood vessels in the cervix interstitial tissue can be seen through, making this area appear red, which is clinically referred to as erosion. In fact, this condition is a false erosion, and in some cases, it may not require treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene, maintain clean external genitalia, and minimize vaginal surgical operations to prevent bacteria from penetrating through damaged areas, leading to pelvic infections. In addition to timely treatment for cervical erosion, patients should also pay attention to care aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a cheerful mood.
