Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What are the reasons for recurrent cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
1. Older Age: Statistics show that women under 30 have a lower recurrence rate after cervical erosion treatment; while women over 30 have a higher recurrence rate.2. Severe Lesions: The larger the area of cervical erosion, the higher the recurrence rate after treatment. Women with mild to moderate cervical erosion have a higher cure rate and lower recurrence rate; whereas women with severe cervical erosion have a lower cure rate and a higher recurrence rate.
3. Incomplete Treatment of Cervical Erosion: During physical treatments such as laser, electrocautery, or microwave therapy, if the treatment is too superficial or limited in scope, it may not completely destroy the diseased tissue in the erosion area, leading to residual lesions and recurrence.
4. Repeated Induced Abortion: During induced abortion, the cervix is damaged. If repeated induced abortions occur, the cervix is repeatedly injured, which is one of the reasons for recurrence after cervical erosion treatment.
5. Sexually Transmitted Diseases: The number of sex disease patients in China has been increasing year by year, such as gonorrhea, genital chlamydia infection, and genital warts. These pathogens can invade cervical epithelial cells, causing cervical inflammation and leading to cervical erosion.
6. Local Immune Abnormalities: Some believe that the sperm of each sexual partner and the bacteria introduced during sexual intercourse can exert a specific immune invasion effect. The ability of the cervix to respond locally to immune reactions increases proportionally with the number of sexual partners. In other words, women with extramarital sex or multiple sexual partners may also promote recurrence after cervical erosion treatment.
