What are the symptoms of female cervical erosion?

Cervical erosion is one of the common cervical diseases. There are many hazards of cervical erosion. So what should I do if I have cervical erosion? What are the symptoms of cervical erosion?

After cervical erosion occurs, there will often be increased and sticky leucorrhea, milky white or light yellow purulent secretions, sometimes bloody or mixed with blood; the vulva may be irritated by increased leucorrhea and may develop vulvitis or vaginitis, causing itching and pain; when the inflammation is severe, it can spread along the uterosacral ligament and cardinal ligament to cause pelvic connective tissue inflammation, causing pain in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral region, accompanied by a feeling of falling; when the inflammation spreads to the bladder triangle or around the bladder, frequent urination or difficulty urinating may occur, and sexual intercourse may also cause contact bleeding or odor.

Cervical erosion is not true erosion, but a pseudo-erosion compared to the normal smooth cervix. It has three manifestations: at the beginning of inflammation, the erosion surface is only covered by columnar epithelium and the surface is flat, which is simple erosion; later, the erosion surface becomes uneven and granules appear on the surface, which is granular erosion; later, the erosion surface becomes more uneven and papillae appear on the surface, which is papillary erosion.

There is a clear boundary between the eroded surface of the cervix and the surrounding normal squamous epithelium. Clinically, it is often divided into three categories according to the area of ​​erosion: mild (I), moderate (II), and severe (III). When the erosion area accounts for 1/3 of the total area of ​​the cervix, it is mild cervical erosion. When the erosion area accounts for 1/2 of the total area of ​​the cervix, it is moderate cervical erosion. When the erosion area exceeds 1/2 of the total area of ​​the cervix, it is severe cervical erosion. It is not difficult to diagnose based on clinical manifestations, but it should be noted that cervical erosion is difficult to distinguish from cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or early cervical cancer in appearance. Routine cervical scraping and endocervical canal suction should be performed. If necessary, colposcopy and biopsy should be performed to confirm the diagnosis.

Cervical erosion seriously endangers women's health, so I hope that the majority of female friends can take better care of themselves and protect themselves in life.
