Patient's question:
My wife is 35 years old this year. After conception, her physical condition has declined, and she has also been troubled by gynecological inflammation. My wife is a chronic cervicitis patient. Today, I saw "cervicitis phosphation" in a health magazine and don't know what it means, so I am here to consult. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Phosphorylation refers to squamous metaplasia. Under normal conditions, the epithelium of the vaginal part of the cervix is squamous epithelium, while the cervical canal is columnar epithelium. The transitional area between the two is called the squamocolumnar junction. Squamous metaplasia is the transformation of columnar epithelium into squamous epithelium. This is a sign that cervical erosion has begun to heal. Some glandular cystic expansion is a reactive change that occurs again due to inflammation, and it naturally resolves after the inflammation subsides. After electrocautery surgery, the erosion on the cervix is completely eliminated, and the normal squamous epithelium that grows back indicates healing. However, cervical erosion can still recur. Chronic cervical inflammation is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of nursing.
