Let’s talk about what you want to know about cervical columnar epithelium ectopia!

Cervical columnar epithelium ectopia, which is what people used to call "cervical erosion", has a great impact on women's health, but most women still lack understanding of this disease. Let us learn about it together.

Symptoms of cervical ectopic epithelium

1. Increased leucorrhea: Increased leucorrhea is the main symptom of this disease. Usually the leucorrhea is milky white or light yellow purulent secretion, sometimes bloody or mixed with blood.

2. Vulvar itching and pain: The vulva and vagina may be irritated by increased leucorrhea, which may lead to vulvitis or vaginitis and cause vulvar itching and pain.

3. Pain in the lower abdomen and lumbosacral region: When the inflammation is severe, it can spread along the uterosacral ligament and cardinal ligament and cause pelvic connective tissue inflammation, causing pain in the lower abdomen or lumbosacral region accompanied by a feeling of falling.

4. Frequent urination or difficulty urinating: When the inflammation spreads to the bladder trigone or around the bladder, frequent urination or difficulty urinating may occur.

5. Infertility: Thick leucorrhea is not conducive to sperm penetration, so severe cervicitis can cause infertility

Causes of cervical ectopic epithelium

1. Excessive cleaning: There are many female cleaning products on the market. If you choose them improperly and use a high concentration of disinfectant to flush the vagina, it will not only affect the growth of normal vaginal flora and reduce its ability to inhibit bacteria, but will also cause varying degrees of cervical epithelial damage and eventually erosion.

2. Premature sexual activity, premature married life, frequent changes of partners, excessive intensity, and too many sexual partners: these pose hidden dangers to young women and cause cervical erosion.

3. Multiple artificial abortions: Premarital sex leading to multiple cervical dilations, artificial abortions, diagnostic curettage and other gynecological surgeries may cause cervical injury or inflammation, and eventually lead to cervical erosion.

4. Unclean married life: Young women’s premarital sexual behavior is mostly kept secret. In addition, young people do not have a stable source of income and cannot create a stable and clean environment, so the probability of getting sick will be greatly increased.
