Long-term consequences of untreated cervical erosion

If cervical erosion is not treated for a long time, it may lead to worsening inflammation and even more serious health problems. Although cervical erosion itself is often a normal physiological phenomenon, it is very important to pay attention to and deal with it in time if abnormal symptoms occur.

1. Risk of increased inflammation

If cervical erosion is not treated for a long time, it may lead to aggravation of local inflammation. In this case, women may experience discomfort symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, odor, itching, etc. These symptoms not only affect the quality of life, but may also further cause other reproductive system infections.

2. Possibility of complications

Long-term untreated cervical erosion may be complicated by other gynecological diseases, such as vaginitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, etc. The spread of inflammation may affect other parts of the reproductive system, leading to more complex health problems, such as fallopian tube blockage, thus affecting fertility.

3. Hidden dangers of precancerous lesions

Although cervical erosion itself is not cancer, if it is accompanied by HPV infection, it may increase the risk of cervical precancerous lesions. HPV infection is closely related to the occurrence of cervical cancer. Regular screening and timely treatment of HPV infection are important means to prevent cervical cancer.

4. Psychological stress and quality of life

Long-term physical discomfort and potential illnesses can cause psychological stress for women and affect their quality of life. Regular physical examinations and proper health management can help relieve this stress and give women greater peace of mind.

5. Suggestions and measures

In order to avoid the above risks, women should have regular gynecological examinations to understand their health status. If cervical erosion is found to be accompanied by discomfort or HPV infection, timely consultation should be taken to take necessary treatment measures. Maintaining good personal hygiene habits and enhancing immunity are also important measures to prevent gynecological diseases.

Although cervical erosion is a normal physiological phenomenon in many cases, the health problems it may cause cannot be ignored. Through regular examinations, timely treatment and good lifestyle management, women can better maintain their reproductive health and enjoy a high quality of life.
