Cervical erosion is not considered a disease, so it is not serious. It is merely a physiological state, not an illness, so there is no need to worry or be concerned about the presence of cervical erosion. Simple cervical erosion is caused by higher levels of estrogen in young people, which can lead to the physiological ectropion of the columnar epithelium of the cervix. This is not a disease, but a physiological state, characterized by a bright red erosion-like appearance, which gradually diminishes with age.

Does cervical erosion affect pregnancy?

Cervical erosion does not affect pregnancy because cervical erosion itself is not a disease. It is a physiological state where the columnar epithelium is everted due to the high levels of estrogen common in young people, appearing as a bright red state of cervical erosion. However, it is not a disease, but rather an issue with endocrine function, which is normal and a sign of youth. Therefore, cervical erosion does not affect pregnancy, and one should not panic and undergo unnecessary physical treatments.

How many days of hospitalization for cervical erosion surgery?

The decision should be made based on the condition of the illness. Generally, patients with mild conditions do not need hospitalization, while those with severe conditions usually require a hospital stay of about three to seven days. Cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease in women, related to increased estrogen levels, and is a common symptom during the reproductive age. A few patients may experience an increase in vaginal discharge that is yellowish or even pus-like, and severe cases can lead to bleeding after intercourse. If the patient has no symptoms and the cervical cancer screening is normal, treatment is generally not necessary. However, if the patient experiences an abnormal increase in vaginal discharge or contact bleeding, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Post-surgery, it is advisable to take oral anti-inflammatory medication for three to five days to prevent infection.

Does cervical erosion hurt?

In most cases, cervical erosion does not cause pain. However, cervical erosion caused by inflammation of the cervix and vagina can result in lower abdominal pain in some patients. The primary reason for this pain is the irritation from the inflammation, which can lead to lower abdominal pain and discomfort in the lower back. Therefore, if a patient experiences pain in the lower abdomen and lower back, it is recommended to visit the gynecology department of the local hospital for a gynecological examination to determine whether there is cervical erosion and chronic inflammation, and to provide timely treatment if necessary.
