What are the harms of cervical erosion to women?

Patient's question:

Detected cervical erosion, bleeding during intercourse, my friend said that if it is not treated, there may be a possibility of cervical cancer. What should I do

Doctor's answer:

1. Causes female infertility: Due to the occurrence of increased vaginal discharge in patients, this purulent discharge can hinder the smooth entry of sperm into the cervix, which in turn affects the combination of sperm and eggs, ultimately leading to female infertility.
2. Triggers other diseases: If this condition is not treated promptly, the pathogens that cause it can lead to other diseases, such as endometritis, chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. Due to long-term stimulation from chronic inflammation, patients may also develop conditions like cervical polyps or cervical cysts, posing significant risks.
3. Increases the risk of cancer: Some patients with cervical erosion may develop cancer, which can make subsequent treatment more challenging.
