Patient's question:
, Between us, we don't have sex very often, but a few days ago she felt uncomfortable downstairs and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, where she was told she had cervical erosion. During this period, she hasn't been pregnant either, and she doesn't know what's going on. Hello, how does cervical erosion occur again?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of cervical erosion is caused by factors such as childbirth, miscarriage, postpartum infection, surgical operations, or mechanical damage to the cervix, such as injury during sexual activity, allowing pathogens to penetrate and leading to infection. What needs attention is that during sexual activity, the penis comes into direct contact with the cervix. If sexual hygiene is not maintained, bacteria can be directly introduced into the vagina, infecting the cervix. For women who already have cervical erosion, this can exacerbate cervical inflammation and may potentially expand the eroded area. In severe cases of cervical erosion, bleeding during intercourse may also occur.
