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.
