What types of cervical erosion can be divided into according to the manifestations

Cervical erosion is a common condition of the female cervix. It is not an independent disease, but a manifestation of chronic cervicitis. According to the manifestation of erosion, it can be divided into simple erosion, granular erosion and papillary erosion. The specific manifestations of the three types of erosion are as follows:

1. Simple erosion

It is more common in the early stages of inflammation. The growth of the columnar epithelium on the surface of the cervix slows down, the eroded surface is covered by a more normal single-layer columnar epithelium, the epidermis is relatively flat and smooth, and flushing can be seen.

2. Granular erosion

If inflammation persists, granular cervical erosion may occur. Because the cervical epithelium grows rapidly and grows toward the stroma, the cervical epithelium overproliferates and expands. The erosion surface is uneven and appears to be fine granules when viewed with the naked eye, so it is called granular cervical erosion.

3. Papillary erosion

If the glandular epithelium and stromal proliferation are obvious, the unevenness is more obvious, and it is papillary, so it is called papillary cervical erosion. Due to the proliferation of stromal, many deeper gaps can be formed. Under the colposcopy, some irregular bulges or depressions can be seen, and some depressions are arranged like gyri.

It should be noted that the above three types of cervical erosion can occur alone or coexist. Since cervical erosion can cause great harm to women, early diagnosis and early treatment are very important.
