Cervical erosion, also known as cervical ectropion, occurs when the glandular cells from the inside of the cervical canal spread to the outer surface of the cervix. Several factors can contribute to its development:
1. Hormonal Changes: High levels of estrogen, common during pregnancy, puberty, or when taking birth control pills, can lead to cervical erosion.
2. Physical Trauma: Damage to the cervix from childbirth, surgical procedures, or frequent vaginal infections can cause erosion.
3. Infections: Chronic infections like cervicitis can contribute to this condition.
Cervical erosion is generally benign and often doesn’t cause symptoms, but it can sometimes lead to increased vaginal discharge, bleeding, or discomfort during intercourse. If you have any concerns, it’s best to consult a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and advice.

Vesico-vaginal fistula (VVF) in Bangladesh is primarily caused by obstetric complications, particularly prolonged and obstructed labor. Here are some key factors:
1. Prolonged and Obstructed Labor: Many women in rural areas give birth at home without access to skilled birth attendants, leading to prolonged and obstructed labor.
2. Early Marriage and Childbirth: Early teenage marriages and subsequent early pregnancies contribute to the risk of VVF.
3. Lack of Access to Healthcare: Limited access to quality maternal healthcare services means many women do not receive timely medical intervention during childbirth.
4. Untrained Birth Attendants: Reliance on untrained birth attendants (dais) who may lack the skills to manage complicated deliveries.
5. Socioeconomic Factors: Women from lower socioeconomic backgrounds often face barriers to accessing healthcare, including transportation and financial constraints.
Addressing these issues through improved healthcare infrastructure, education, and access to skilled birth attendants can help reduce the incidence of VVF in Bangladesh.
