Brief analysis of two common types of cervical erosion

There are two types of cervical erosion that are relatively recognized in clinical practice and are highly recognized by many gynecological experts. What are the common types of cervical erosion ? Let's talk about the common types of cervical erosion.

Generally, the common types of cervical erosion are:

1. True erosion: Since the surface of the cervix is ​​often covered with a lot of mucus or purulent secretions, these secretions stimulate and soak the squamous epithelium around the external cervical opening for a long time. In addition, the inflammatory infiltration of the deep tissues of the cervix causes the squamous epithelium covering the surface of the cervix to lose vitality and fall off, forming ulcers. This is true erosion. This is one of the common types of cervical erosion. However, this erosion surface is soon covered by the columnar epithelium around it, forming a red area with a granular surface and a certain luster, that is, false erosion. The cervical erosion we find in our daily work is mostly false erosion, and true erosion is only a short stage in this pathological process. Its prognosis will be that the surface is covered by columnar epithelium and becomes false erosion.

2. Pseudo-erosion: The pathological concept of erosion refers to the shedding of the surface epithelium. The common cervical erosion in clinical work is mostly the red area around the external cervical opening. During colposcopy, after applying 3% acetic acid on the surface of the red area, it can be seen that the red area is partially changed into a "grape bunch", which is caused by columnar epithelial edema. If a biopsy is performed on this area, columnar epithelium can be seen on the surface under a microscope. Therefore, if the pathological definition of erosion is strictly followed, this place does not belong to erosion, so some people suggest calling it pseudo-erosion. Cervical erosion seen in clinical work mostly belongs to this type of cervical erosion. This is also a common classification of cervical erosion.

The above is an introduction to the common types of cervical erosion. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. Once you suffer from cervical erosion, you must go to the hospital for treatment immediately to avoid more serious consequences.
