Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Is cervical erosion serious?Doctor's answer:
Hello, what you said about cervical erosion is cervical erosion: Due to the stimulation of inflammatory secretions, the squamous epithelial cells of the cervical canal external orifice fall off and are covered by proliferated columnar epithelium. The surface is bright red, smooth, or uneven in height, and this change is called "cervical erosion." Women with cervical erosion have a cervical cancer incidence rate of 0.73%, significantly higher than the 0.1% rate in women without cervical erosion. A 1972-1976 nationwide survey in Beijing found that the incidence of cervical cancer in women with erosion was twice as high as that in women without erosion. Under long-term chronic inflammation stimulation, the columnar epithelium that proliferates from the cervical canal may develop atypical hyperplasia. If not treated in time, a portion of it may eventually develop into cancer, although this transformation process is relatively slow.
