Women's health is very fragile and oftena woman suffers from various diseases. One of the most common is cervical erosion. Unfortunately, every second woman of reproductive age faces this disease at least once in her life. There are a huge number of treatment methods, including treatment of erosion with folk remedies. However, despite the fact that the name of the disease is on everyone's lips, few women fully understand what the essence of this ailment is. Cervical erosion is a benign process occurring in the cervical canal. With cervical erosion, the epithelium lining the vaginal section of the cervix ulcerates, and an epithelial defect is visualized upon examination. The symptoms of cervical erosion are quite ambiguous. If the area of epithelial damage is small, the disease may be asymptomatic. In this case, the disease can only be detected by chance, during a preventive gynecological examination. That is why it is so important to visit a gynecologist in a timely manner – after all, the sooner the disease is diagnosed and treatment is started, the more successful it will be and the less time it will take. Often, erosion detected during a random preventive examination, with timely treatment, disappears without a trace literally in one or two weeks, without causing any harm to the woman’s health. In the same case, if the damage to the epithelium is quite extensive, the woman often experiences symptoms such as:
- Painful sensations of varying degreesintensity, arising during sexual intercourse. This can be a slight discomfort, and there may be so much pain that a normal sexual intercourse becomes almost impossible.
- In some cases, a woman may notice minor spotting of the syphilis, regardless of the stage of the menstrual cycle.
- Often women complain of copious discharge of white and even purulent discharge.
Causes of erosion of the cervix
In the vast majority of all casesThe occurrence of cervical erosion occurs due to previous inflammation of the mucous membrane of the cervical canal, as well as in the case when a woman has any pathological changes and deformations of the mucous membrane of the uterus and vagina. The inflammation preceding the disease, in turn, occurs under the influence of the following factors:
- Regular irritation of the mucous whites,excreted from the cervical canal. As a result, epithelial sloughing and maceration can occur, which leads to the formation of sufficiently large ulcerous erosions. When you touch them, erosion starts to bleed slightly. Such erosion physicians call erosions true. In the event that erosion spreads beyond the cervical canal, so-called false erosion is formed, which is very poorly treatable and constantly gives numerous relapses.
- Often the causes of erosion of the cervix are various sexually transmitted infections, especially such as chlamydia, herpes simplex virus and ureaplasmosis.
- Also, erosion of the cervix can cause a disturbed microbiocinosis (microflora) of the vagina.
- If a woman had an operative intervention - removal of tumors, abortion - trauma to the mucosa could occur, and as a result, the development of erosion of the cervix.
- Cervical erosion often occurs inas a result of traumatization of the mucous membrane with barrier and chemical contraceptives. When selecting contraceptives, be sure to consult a doctor who will help you choose the most gentle methods.
- Violations of the normal functioning of the immune system, toovery often lead to the development of cervical erosion. If a woman suffers from frequent erosions, which are difficult to treat, an experienced doctor will send her patient to consult an immunologist.
- Frequent changes in sexual partners can also lead to damage to the mucous membrane and the development of erosions of the cervix.
Complications of cervical erosion and diagnostic methods
Despite the fact that, as already mentioned above,cervical erosion is a benign process, this disease is by no means harmless. In some cases, it can pass completely on its own, without any medical intervention, but most often cervical erosion serves as a trigger for the development of various tumor diseases. In addition, the presence of cervical erosion in a woman can provoke the occurrence of the following diseases:
- Erosion is often a real entrance gate for the causative agents of the herpes simplex virus and chlamydia.
- Erosion of the cervix is the mostfavorable environment for the reproduction of the human papilloma virus. This virus can cause various diseases, ranging from ordinary condylomas and ending with serious precancerous conditions.
- The presence of erosion in a woman, not bad for treatment and constantly bleeding, doctors regard as a precancerous condition of the cervical canal.
As a rule, the first erosion of the cervixis detected by a regular gynecological examination using speculums. If the doctor visualizes the presence of damage to the mucous membrane of the cervix, the woman is prescribed an additional diagnostic examination using a special optical device called a colposcope. During the examination of a woman using a colposcope, as a rule, the doctor takes a piece of epithelium from the damaged area of the cervix. This procedure is called a biopsy. However, in some cases, the doctor decides not to perform a biopsy, but to take a smear for cytology. However, both types of research pursue the same goal - to identify possible existing cancer cells. Many women are afraid of any examinations by a gynecologist and especially examinations. However, in fact, there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of - almost all procedures are absolutely painless. But refusing an examination and examination can lead to the most unpredictable, and sometimes tragic consequences.
