What are cervical lesions?

There are many causes of cervical lesions. Some are caused by inflammation or injury, while others may be caused by tumors or uterine inflammation. Patients need to cooperate with doctors in a timely manner for treatment. There are many harmful effects of cervical lesions, which can cause infertility and cervical erosion in women, as well as many gynecological diseases. Therefore, women should pay attention to the hygiene of the vagina and uterus.

What are cervical lesions?

Cervical lesions refer to various lesions occurring in the cervical area, including inflammation, injury, tumors (and precancerous lesions), deformities and endometriosis, etc. Therefore, cervical lesions do not only include precancerous lesions of the cervix, such as various degrees of atypical hyperplasia of the cervix.

The dangers of cervical lesions

1. Cause infertility: Cervical erosion, especially moderate and severe cervical erosion, will significantly increase cervical secretions, which are viscous and mixed with a large number of white blood cells. They can phagocytize sperm and have a very adverse effect on the normal activity of sperm, hindering the sperm from entering the uterine cavity and affecting conception.

2. Leading to complications: After suffering from cervical erosion, it will cause inflammation of other organs. For example, the pathogens of cervical erosion can cause endometritis and spread through the parauterine ligaments and lymphatic vessels, causing chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. If the inflammation spreads to the bladder triangle, it will also cause urinary system diseases, resulting in symptoms such as urinary pain, frequent urination, and difficulty urinating.

3. Cause deeper lesions: Due to the long-term stimulation of chronic inflammation, it will cause deeper diseases such as polyps, lacerations, eversions, cysts, etc.

4. Canceration: Canceration is very scary. The incidence of cervical cancer in women with cervical erosion is nearly 10 times higher than that in women without cervical erosion. Under the influence of long-term chronic inflammation, the columnar epithelium formed by the proliferation of the cervical canal will undergo atypical hyperplasia. If timely treatment measures are not taken, it will move towards cervical cancer. Cervical erosion is usually accompanied by HPV infection, which is also one of the signals that cause cervical cancer. Usually this development process takes 5 to 10 years.

How to prevent cervical disease

1. Matters needing attention in sexual life between husband and wife

When having sex, you should pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, and control the frequency appropriately. Female friends should abstain from extramarital affairs to reduce the chance of infection. At the same time, you should pay attention to avoid having sex during menstruation.

2. Try to avoid crowds

Abortion not only has a great impact on women's overall physical health, but it is also prone to cause infection of the reproductive system and is a major hidden danger to cervical health. Therefore, if you do not have the desire to have children for the time being, you should take contraceptive measures during sexual intercourse to reduce the chance of unwanted pregnancy and the chance of cervical trauma and bacterial infection caused by human factors.

3. Pay attention to menstrual status

The normal menstrual cycle for women is 28 to 35 days and lasts for 3 to 7 days. If the menstrual cycle is too short or the menstrual period lasts for a long time, you should seek medical attention in time to find out the cause and cooperate with the doctor for active treatment.

4. Precautions during delivery and postpartum period

Pregnant women should go to a regular hospital for regular prenatal check-ups and follow the doctor's instructions during delivery to prevent instruments from damaging the cervix during delivery. If cervical laceration is found after delivery, it should be sutured promptly.

5. Regular gynecological examinations

Female friends should have regular gynecological examinations to detect cervical inflammation in time and receive timely treatment.

Causes of cervical disease

1. Multiple artificial abortions

Multiple abortions, diagnostic curettage, cervical dilation and other gynecological surgeries caused by premarital sex may lead to cervical injury or inflammation, and ultimately cause cervical erosion.

2. Unclean sexual life

Since premarital sexual intercourse is mostly kept secret, and young people do not have a stable source of income and cannot create a stable and clean living environment, the chances of getting sick are greatly increased.

3. Excessive cleaning

There are many female cleaning products on the market. If they are not chosen properly and a high concentration of disinfectant is used to flush the vagina, it will not only affect the growth of normal vaginal flora and reduce its ability to inhibit bacteria, but it will also cause varying degrees of cervical epithelial damage and eventually erosion.

4. Men and women engage in sexual activity too early and have too many partners

It is common for young people nowadays to engage in sexual activities before marriage. Premature sexual activity, frequent changes of sexual partners and excessive sexual intensity (more than 4 times a week) are causes of cervical erosion that cannot be ignored.

Conclusion: Cervical disease involves many aspects. If you have cervical problems, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid causing greater harm to your health. In their daily lives, women should avoid abortion and observe their menstrual periods in a timely manner. If you have multiple abortions or excessive cleaning, it will cause cervical problems.
