Cervical erosion is a gynecological disease we are familiar with, with a high incidence rate and especially serious harm and impact on patients in daily life. After discovering the disease, it must be checked and treated immediately.
Can cervical erosion not be treated
Many women who suffer from cervical erosion do not experience obvious symptoms, but cervical erosion itself is not good and will only worsen. If not actively treated, not only will it self heal, but the condition will also become more severe. Even mild erosion requires medication treatment under the guidance of a doctor, otherwise it will transform into moderate and severe erosion, which will have a greater impact on the patient's health.
The hazards of cervical erosion
1. Causing complications: Suffering from this condition may cause other complications. The pathogen of this disease spreads to other places and causes secondary damage to the female body. For example, entering the trigone of the bladder can cause urinary system diseases, difficulty urinating, and may cause endometritis, or attack the pelvis to cause inflammation. In addition, the human body has been affected by chronic inflammation for a long time, resulting in cysts, polyps, and worsening of the condition.
2. Infertility: This symptom can bring more inflammatory secretions to women, which are natural enemies of sperm. This secretion is thick and contains many white blood cells. It not only engulfs sperm, but also cannot move, pass through, meet the egg, and of course, cannot fertilize, resulting in infertility.
3. Long term stimulation of chronic inflammation can cause deeper diseases such as polyps, lacerations, ectropions, and cysts.
4. Causing cancer transformation: Women with cervical erosion have a nearly 10 times higher incidence of cervical cancer compared to the general population. Under the stimulation of long-term chronic inflammation, atypical hyperplasia of the columnar epithelium in the cervical canal can occur. If not treated promptly and correctly, it will develop towards precancerous lesions of the cervix
Can cervical erosion cause cancer?
With the progress of medical science, especially the in-depth research on the etiology and pathogenesis of cervical cancer and its precancerous lesions in the past decade, a large number of evidence-based medicine studies around the world have shown that:, There are approximately 16 types of carcinogenic papillomavirus (HPV) (13 of which have been identified by the WHO as having the most carcinogenic potential: 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 35, 45, 56, 58, 59, 68, 68) that have been continuously infected for at least 2 years and are closely related to the development of cervical cancer and its precancerous lesions.
