Does cervical erosion spread to others?

Patient's question:

I have cervical erosion, and my daughter is currently sleeping with me at night, as I'm afraid of infecting her. Will cervical erosion be contagious?

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help you with your question. Cervical erosion is usually caused by chronic inflammatory reactions, leading to redness, swelling, and ulcers in the cervical mucosa, with some even experiencing purulent vaginal discharge. This condition requires active treatment. In the early stages, vaginal medication and abstinence from sexual activity are recommended. For severe cervical erosion, LEEP surgery is advised, but it is generally not contagious.
