Cervical erosion is a gynecological disease we are familiar with. Its incidence rate is high, and it also has serious harm to the health and normal life of female patients after illness. We must pay attention to its pathogenic factors and clarify its harmfulness.
Causes of cervical erosion
1. High intensity of sexual activity: Many young men and women have a high intensity of sexual activity. The so-called high intensity of sexual activity refers to having sex more than 4 times a week, which can easily cause cervical damage. Long term direct contact between the penis and the cervix can lead to infection of the cervix if the male partner does not clean the external genitalia. In addition, having sex more than 4 times a week can put significant pressure on the cervix, ultimately leading to chronic cervicitis, Cervical erosion is a common pathological manifestation of chronic cervicitis
2. Excessive cleaning: Some women like to use soap and other cleaning items to clean their external genitalia and vagina when taking a shower. In fact, this is the cause of cervical erosion. Normal adult women, under the action of estrogen, have acidic vaginal secretions, which makes their external genitalia environment acidic. This acidic environment is a natural barrier for the body's self-protection and can block the invasion of bacteria, Greatly reducing the chances of women suffering from diseases such as urethritis, vaginitis, and cervical erosion
3. Poor physical resistance: generally, young women have better physique than middle-aged or elderly people, so they recover quickly after treatment. Some elderly people have prolonged the healing period of the wound due to poor physique or their own combination of medical diseases such as diabetes. If there is a trigger, it will recur, which is also the reason for recurrent cervical erosion.
4. Abnormal local immunity: Each sexual partner's sperm and bacteria brought during sexual intercourse are believed to have a special immune invading effect. The ability of local immune response in the cervix increases proportionally with the number of sexual partners. That is to say, women who engage in extramarital behavior or excessive sexual partners can also promote the recurrence of cervical erosion.
5. Dirty sexual activity. During the treatment of cervical erosion, the wound has not been fully repaired and is not suitable for sexual activity. However, some patients do not follow the doctor's instructions for treatment, resulting in reduced treatment effectiveness and ineffective results. After treatment, unclean sexual activity is also a common cause of recurrent cervical erosion.
6. Suffering from sexually transmitted diseases. The number of sexually transmitted disease patients in China is increasing year by year, such as gonorrhea, genital chlamydia infection, and genital warts. These bacteria can invade cervical epithelial cells, causing cervicitis, and causing cervical erosion is the cause of recurrence of cervical erosion.
