The word "erosion" can cause panic among many women. Seeing pictures of what supposedly "eroded" vaginas can be even more terrifying.
In the past, many unscrupulous merchants would claim that the cervix was severely rotten and demand immediate treatment, warning of dire consequences. They would also indoctrinate naive young girls with the idea that cervical erosion was a very serious gynecological condition. Many women, after experiencing such fear, would immediately purchase the medications recommended by these merchants or undergo the prescribed treatments.
This kind of behavior is utterly unethical! It's like the mother of all unethical behavior opening the door to even more unethical behavior; it's despicable to the extreme. Today, I'd like to introduce cervical erosion to all my female friends. Please don't be fooled by unscrupulous merchants next time.
Is cervical erosion really a gynecological disease?
I'll say it three times because it's important! Cervical erosion is not a disease. Cervical erosion is not a disease. Cervical erosion is not a disease.
Cervical erosion is a physiological phenomenon characterized by the outward migration of columnar epithelium from the cervix, and it is absolutely not a gynecological disease. Because the columnar epithelium is thin, the underlying stroma is visible, appearing red. To the naked eye, it looks like erosion. The so-called "erosion" merely resembles erosion; it is not true erosion in pathological terms. As early as 2008, the 7th edition of the *Obstetrics and Gynecology* textbook officially removed the term "cervical erosion," replacing it with the physiological phenomenon of "cervical columnar epithelium migration."
Why does cervical erosion occur?
Cervical erosion is a normal physiological change, and most cases in women are caused by elevated hormone levels. Once hormone levels stabilize, the so-called "erosion" will improve, so there's no need to worry excessively. The occurrence of cervical erosion has absolutely nothing to do with promiscuity, sexual misconduct, or other such behavior.
Does cervical erosion require treatment?
As mentioned above, cervical erosion is not a disease. Therefore, it does not require treatment. Whether it's mild, moderate, severe, or grade one, two, or three, cervical erosion does not require treatment.
Finally, let me say that cervical erosion is not a disease and does not require treatment.
