Does cervical erosion spread through sexual life?

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 questions. Cervical erosion is usually caused by chronic inflammatory reactions, leading to redness, swelling, ulcers, and exudate in the cervical mucosa. In some cases, purulent vaginal discharge may even occur. This condition requires active treatment. Early treatment can involve vaginal medication and abstinence from sexual activity. For severe cervical erosion, it is recommended to undergo a LEEP procedure. However, it is generally not contagious, so living with children is not a problem.
