Does cervical erosion have anything to do with sexual life?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, is cervical erosion related to sexual life? I was fine when I was young, didn't have any gynecological problems, but now that I'm older, I often have sex with different men. Now I've started having stomach pain, and after a thorough examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with cervical erosion. Is there any connection?

Doctor's answer:

Cervical erosion has a certain relationship with sexual life, because during sexual life, the male may transmit bacteria or viruses to the female, which can lead to chronic cervical inflammation and cervical erosion. If you frequently engage in sexual activity with a man, it is important to undergo a thorough HPV test before treatment. HPV is a sexually transmitted human papillomavirus. After ruling out this disease, treatment can be carried out.
