Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Women with cervical erosion have a 10 times higher incidence of cervical cancer compared to those without cervical erosion. This is because, under the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, the columnar epithelium derived from cervical canal hyperplasia in patients with cervical erosion can develop atypical hyperplasia. If not treated promptly, a portion of it may eventually progress to cancer, although this transformation process is relatively slow.How can patients with cervical erosion prevent cancer transformation?
1. Maintain external genital hygiene. Avoid using various as much as possible to prevent the destruction of the vagina's natural protective barrier, which may lead to worsening irritation.
2. Practice effective contraception and family planning. Avoid the pain and trauma of induced abortion and cervical lacerations caused by childbirth, and ensure timely suture if any occur.
3. Undergo regular gynecological examinations. Cervical erosion and early cervical cancer are difficult to distinguish visually. Cervical scraping tests are simple, easy to perform, and provide reliable results.
4. Seek active treatment if cervical erosion is detected. Common treatment methods include medication, physical therapy, LEEP technology, and others.
5. Maintain a positive mood and enhance disease resistance. Cervical erosion is a chronic condition and, while it is a risk factor for cervical cancer, it is not considered a precancerous lesion. There is no need to worry excessively about it.
