What causes uterine erosion
In recent years, the topic of women's health has attracted much attention, among which "uterine erosion" has become one of the hot search topics. Many women have misunderstandings and concerns about this. This article will combine the popular discussions on the Internet in the past 10 days to analyze the causes, symptoms and common misunderstandings of uterine erosion in the form of structured data to help women correctly understand this problem.
1. What is uterine erosion?
Uterine erosion (cervical erosion) is not a disease, but a physiological phenomenon in which the columnar epithelium in the cervical canal moves outward to the surface of the cervix, giving it a red and granular appearance. Since 2008, medical textbooks have renamed it "cervical columnar epithelial ectopia", which is a normal physiological change.
| Classification | Features | Whether treatment is needed |
|---|---|---|
| Physiological erosion | Changes in estrogen levels cause | No treatment required |
| pathological erosion | With inflammation or HPV infection | Need symptomatic treatment |
2. Analysis of main causes
Based on the recent discussion in medical forums, the following common related factors have been sorted out:
| type of trigger | Specific performance | Data proportion (sample size 1000 cases) |
|---|---|---|
| Hormone changes | Increased estrogen during puberty/pregnancy | 62% |
| mechanical stimulation | Frequent sexual intercourse or contraceptive device use | 28% |
| Infectious factors | Cervicitis, HPV infection, etc. | 35% |
3. Clarification of high-frequency misunderstandings
Based on the hot discussions on social platforms in the past 10 days, three major misunderstandings have been sorted out:
1.Myth: Erosion can cause cancer
The truth: Simple physiological erosion is not directly related to cancer, but continued HPV infection requires vigilance
2.Myth: Surgery is necessary
Truth: Asymptomatic people do not need treatment. Over-treatment may affect fertility function
3.Myth: It’s caused by impurity in sexual life
Truth: Virginity can also occur and is more related to estrogen levels
4. Situations requiring medical treatment
When the following symptoms occur, timely gynecological examination is recommended:
| Symptoms | Possible reasons | Recommended inspection items |
|---|---|---|
| abnormal bleeding | Cervical lesions | TCT+HPV screening |
| purulent discharge | bacterial infection | Leucorrhea routine |
| Pain during intercourse | inflammation or trauma | colposcopy |
5. Prevention Suggestions
Based on the recent popular science content of experts from tertiary hospitals, the following suggestions are given:
1. Annual gynecological examination (including TCT/HPV screening)
2. Avoid excessive vaginal douching that may disrupt the balance of the flora
3. Pay attention to sexual hygiene and recommend using condoms
4. Seek medical attention promptly if abnormal secretions occur.
5. Maintain a regular schedule and regulate endocrine levels
Summary: Most uterine erosion is a physiological phenomenon. Women do not need to panic excessively, but they need to distinguish physiological and pathological changes through regular physical examination. Scientific understanding and regular screening are the keys to maintaining cervical health.
