Can I have an abortion if I have cervical erosion? What do the experts say?

The occurrence of cervical erosion has a great impact on women, and cervical erosion is divided into several grades. If the eroded surface is not bright red, obviously congested or easy to bleed, and under the doctor's examination, if there is no serious infection, abortion can generally be performed. However, anti-inflammatory treatment should be performed before the abortion. Mild cervical erosion can be treated with anti-inflammatory treatment after the abortion is over, which will not affect the time of the abortion.

Can I have an abortion if I have moderate or severe cervical erosion?

Generally speaking, the larger the erosion surface, the more severe the cervical erosion inflammation. Patients with moderate to severe cervical erosion who do not have other reproductive tract inflammation can control the inflammation first and then undergo abortion surgery. If the erosion area is too large, the erosion surface is bright red, there is obvious congestion or easy bleeding, or there are other reproductive tract inflammations, abortion cannot be performed. Because abortion surgery may cause bacterial infection, and the wound surface of abortion surgery happens to be in a place that is easily infected by bacteria, it is easy to cause other diseases. In this case, the inflammation should be treated, and abortion can be performed after the leucorrhea examination is normal and the cervical erosion is cured.

If cervical erosion is not treated in time, it will cause serious harm

Cervical erosion is a manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation. It is caused by bacteria invading columnar epithelial cells and hiding in the folds of the endocervical canal, making it difficult to be removed. When a woman suffers from cervical erosion, her body's resistance will decrease, and the vagina will produce a lot of secretions due to the stimulation of inflammation. At this time, the woman's body and mind will be damaged. In addition, for pregnant women with cervical erosion, as the levels of estrogen and progesterone in their bodies continue to increase, the cervical erosion will be significantly aggravated and vaginal bleeding will occur. Therefore, if women do not receive timely treatment, it will have a great impact, and may also lead to premature rupture of membranes and loss of amniotic fluid, affecting the normal development of the fetus. At this point, miscarriage is inevitable, and it will also cause genital infections and ultimately, more serious diseases, even infertility and cervical cancer.

Before an abortion, acute inflammation must be controlled first. This can not only effectively protect the cervix from ascending infection caused by the operation, but also create better conditions for the success of the operation and reduce the occurrence of postoperative sequelae. This also reflects the importance of gynecological examination before abortion. Simply speaking, cervical erosion is also very harmful to women. If it is not controlled, it may lead to cervical cancer and endanger life.
