Can virgins suffer from cervical erosion?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am currently 20 years old. Today, I heard that my aunt got cervical erosion. I am a bit worried that I might also get this disease, but I feel that I am still young and will definitely not get it. I would like to ask you, can virgins also get cervical erosion?

Doctor's answer:

Women who are not married and have not had sexual activity or pregnancy generally will never get cervical erosion, because cervical erosion is often caused by chronic inflammation due to sexual discharge, the production of babies, various uterine cavity operations, and stimulation. If your vaginal discharge sometimes appears in large quantities, is yellow, and has an odor, you should have a vaginal infection, but you generally will not have cervical erosion. It is important to pay attention to personal hygiene. Before going to sleep or taking a nap at night, use warm water to rinse the external genitalia. Change your clothes and underwear frequently, which can effectively prevent the recurrence of gynecological infections.
