Can cervical erosion affect pregnancy? There are 5 ways for patients to prescribe targeted medication
Cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease with multiple causes. After falling ill, we should treat it reasonably based on our own condition and pay attention to whether we can conceive. Let's understand together.
Can cervical erosion affect pregnancy?
Cervical erosion is a normal physiological phenomenon, so it does not affect pregnancy. Cervical erosion has no special clinical manifestations and generally does not require special treatment. Unnecessary treatment may also cause additional harm to the body, such as adhesion or closure of the external cervical opening, trauma leading to cervicitis or cervical endometriosis, damaged cervical function leading to pregnancy miscarriage or premature birth.
However, in cases of cervical cancer, precancerous lesions, cervicitis, etc., cervical erosion samples undergo changes. When clinical examination reveals changes in cervical erosion samples, cytological examination should be performed. Cervical erosion cannot be blindly treated, nor can it be considered a normal physiological change, ignoring the examination and treatment of cervical cancer and cervicitis.
Can cervical erosion lead to pregnancy
If cervical erosion patients are accompanied by inflammation, such as purulent vaginal discharge in the local area of the cervix, and bacterial infections such as Chlamydia or Neisseria gonorrhoeae, it can cause cervical mucus to thicken and contain a large number of white blood cells, which is not conducive to sperm activity and penetration, and affect pregnancy.
Women with severe cervical erosion are unable to conceive and require active treatment for cervical erosion. Pregnancy should be tested after the symptoms of cervicitis improve. Otherwise, the pathogenic bacteria during pregnancy may rise along the cervix and cause complications such as premature rupture of membranes.
The hazards of cervical erosion
1. The harm of cervical erosion is that it can cause a series of complications.
Women suffering from cervical erosion can generally cause inflammation of other organogenesis in the body, thus causing a series of complications. Endometritis: caused by the upward movement of pathogens in cervical erosion. Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease: Cervical erosion spreads to the pelvis through the parametrial ligament and lymphatic vessels. If the inflammation is related to the bladder triangle, the urinary system will have an emergency, and patients will have pain in urination, frequency of urination, dysuria and other symptoms.
2. The harm of cervical erosion can manifest as cancer.
Women with cervical erosion are 10 times more likely to develop cervical cancer than the general population. Due to the stimulation of long-term chronic inflammation, cervical canal proliferation and atypical proliferation of columnar skin can gradually develop into lesions in the anterior part of the cervix if medical attention is not sought immediately. In addition, cervical erosion often combines with HPU infection and develops within 5-10 years, ultimately leading to cancer and evolving into cervical cancer.
