Is granular cervical erosion the same as cervical cancer?

Patient's question:

The day before yesterday, the doctor checked and said my cervix had III degree erosion with granularity. Hello, is granularity the most severe condition? Is it a manifestation of precancerous lesions of the cervix? Hello, is granular cervical erosion cervical cancer?

Doctor's answer:

Recurrent cervical erosion is caused by factors such as childbirth, miscarriage, postpartum infection, surgical operations, or mechanical irritation like sexual trauma, leading to the introduction of pathogens into the cervix and subsequent infection. Granular cervical erosion is not the most severe form. It may also cause increased vaginal discharge, which can be sticky and occasionally purulent or bloody. Symptoms may also include lower abdominal pain, lower abdominal heaviness, and dyspareunia (pain during intercourse). It is also highly likely to cause contact bleeding with a foul odor. These symptoms could be manifestations of precancerous cervical lesions, so you need to pay attention.
