Is cervical erosion cancer?

Patient's question:

Vaginal mirror findings: Type L; squamous epithelium, mature; columnar epithelial hyperplasia L; cervical hypertrophy; Nabothian cysts; hard cervical tissue; thin aceto-white epithelium, flat, clear margins, small punctate vessels; erosion! Staining! Non-staining! Is it cancer? Very worried!

Doctor's answer:

Cervical erosion and cervical cancer are currently both caused by infection with the HPV virus, which is also divided into high-risk and low-risk types. Generally, only high-risk HPV infection can potentially develop into cancer. Cervical erosion is very common in women, and as long as regular follow-up is conducted, there is no significant problem. Don’t worry. The occurrence of cervical erosion not only affects women’s health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
