Menopause: Menstrual changes in menopausal women

Cervical erosion usually refers to cervical columnar epithelial ectopia, which may be related to changes in hormone levels, inflammatory stimulation, mechanical damage and other factors.

Changes in hormone levels are one of the common causes of cervical erosion. Elevated estrogen levels may cause the columnar epithelium in the cervical canal to move outward and replace the squamous epithelium at the external cervical ostium, resulting in an erosive appearance. This condition is more common in women during adolescence, pregnancy or taking oral contraceptive pills. It is usually a physiological change and does not require special treatment, but regular cervical cancer screening is required.

Inflammatory stimulation may also lead to cervical erosion. Chronic cervicitis, vaginitis and other gynecological inflammations long-term irritation of cervical tissue may cause cervical epithelial damage and morphological changes during repair. Common pathogens include bacteria, fungi, and viruses, such as human papillomavirus infections. This situation requires treatment based on the cause, such as using Baofukang Suppository, Xiaomi Suppository and other drugs to control inflammation.

Mechanical damage is another possible cause. Frequent sexual intercourse, childbirth trauma, artificial abortion and other operations may cause cervical tissue damage, and columnar epithelial migration may occur during the repair process. In this case, care should be taken to avoid repeated injury and keep the vulva clean. If necessary, recombinant human interferon α2b vaginal effervescent tablets can be used to promote tissue repair.

In rare cases, cervical erosion may be related to pathological changes such as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. In this case, cervical cytology and colposcopy are required to confirm the diagnosis, and treatment methods such as electrocoagulation, cryotherapy, or LEEP knife are selected according to the extent of the disease.

It is recommended that women have an annual gynecological exam, including cervical cancer screening. In daily life, you should pay attention to keeping the vulva clean, avoid using irritating lotions, choose cotton underwear and change it frequently. Eat a balanced diet, exercise moderately, and enhance immunity. If abnormal vaginal discharge or contact bleeding occurs, you should seek medical treatment promptly and do not self-medicate. Sexual intercourse should be avoided during treatment and regular check-ups should be carried out as directed by the doctor.
