Cervical erosion is a common cervical disease in women. It has a great impact on female friends’ work and life, and it also seriously harms women’s health. So, why do you get cervical erosion? Therefore, women should understand the cause of the disease and do a good job in disease prevention to avoid diseases that harm their health.

So, what causes cervical erosion in women?

1. Sexual life is too intense

Multiple sexual partners, excessive sexual intensity, and menstrual sex are also causes of cervical erosion.

2. Impure sexual life

During sexual intercourse, the male penis will be in direct contact with the female cervix. If men do not pay attention to sexual hygiene, they can directly introduce bacteria into the vagina and infect the cervix; for women who have already suffered from cervical erosion, it will cause inflammation. It aggravates and expands the erosion surface. In severe cases, bleeding during sexual intercourse may occur.

3. Repeated artificial abortion

Multiple artificial abortions can cause varying degrees of cervical damage, giving bacteria an opportunity to cause cervicitis. Long-term stimulation of inflammation will increase local secretions, and long-term immersion of the cervix in inflammatory secretions will cause erosion.

4. Excessive cleaning

Frequently rinsing the vagina with a larger concentration of disinfectant solution will not only affect the growth of normal vaginal flora and reduce its ability to inhibit pathogens, but also cause varying degrees of cervical epithelial damage, and eventually erosion.

How should patients with cervical erosion be cared for on a daily basis?

1. Do not use panty liners for a long time. Many women believe that using panty liners can avoid direct contact between the vagina and underwear and help keep the vaginal environment clean. This idea is very wrong, because long-term use of panty liners can easily lead to poor ventilation of the vagina and lead to infection. Therefore, it is recommended that you only use panty liners during the short period when menstruation is about to start or when menstruation is about to begin.

2. Don’t sit still for long periods of time. Almost everyone knows that sitting for long periods of time will lead to poor blood circulation, but more importantly, women who sit for long periods of time have poor perineal ventilation, blocked blood circulation, and are more susceptible to infection.

3. Do not use vaginal lotion blindly. When many women feel discomfort in their vagina, they usually go to pharmacies to buy vaginal lotion for use. In fact, frequent use of vaginal lotion will cause great damage to the vaginal environment and may actually aggravate vaginitis.

What should I pay attention to in my diet?

1. Eat a light diet, eat more fruits, vegetables and light foods, and pay attention to rest. You can eat some foods that nourish yin, medicines that nourish qi and blood, and eat less irritating and spicy foods such as onions, beef, and mutton.

2. After cervical erosion surgery, you often sweat easily due to your weak body. Therefore, you should replenish water in small amounts and multiple times to reduce water evaporation; more water-soluble vitamins are excreted in sweat, especially vitamin C, vitamin B1, and vitamin B2. Therefore, you should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. This will also help prevent constipation.

3. Do not eat spicy or irritating foods, because they will aggravate pelvic congestion and inflammation, or cause excessive contraction of uterine muscles, aggravating symptoms, such as chili peppers, peppers, garlic, onions, ginger, leeks, chicken soup, Durian, longan, red dates, donkey hide gelatin, royal jelly and other hot, coagulant and hormone-containing foods should also be eaten less.
