What are the diagnostic criteria for female cervical erosion? Several methods for diagnosing cervical erosion

Maybe many female friends are familiar with the problem of cervical erosion, but what kind of disease is cervical erosion? Is there any good way to alleviate this problem? Don't worry too much. Below, experts will mainly introduce this issue to you, hoping to be of some help to you.

When the squamous epithelium of the vaginal part of the cervix is ​​partially or completely replaced by columnar epithelium, a granular red area can be seen with the naked eye or under a colposcope, which is called cervical erosion. Its essence is that the columnar epithelium in the cervical canal overproliferates and extends outside the cervix under the stimulation of higher estrogen levels. If there is no concurrent infection, and no abnormal cell and blood vessel proliferation, it should belong to the physiological category. There is also a strong circumstantial evidence: elderly women and prepubertal girls do not have this phenomenon because of their lower estrogen levels, while more than 80% of women of childbearing age have varying degrees of cervical erosion.
