The epithelial lining of the cervix responds to the estrogen levels in your body. The cervix enlarges and the columnar epithelium from the cervical canal moves out to cover part of the cervix. This is a response to the increase in estrogen during puberty.
The same vaginal ectropion is also found to occur in some pregnant women as a result of increased estrogen.
Adolescents also have a surge in the hormone. That is why some of them may suffer from uterine erosion.
Women on combined birth control pill may also experience vaginal erosion. The pill affects estrogen levels in the body, which in return triggers cervical ectopy.
Cervical erosion in babies is as a result of the response to maternal estrogen in the uterus. When examined ab birth, about a third of female babies are found to have this kind of ectropion.
During menopause, women on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be found to suffer from vaginal erosion. The estrogen pills, creams and patches can cause ectopy.
Some women do not undergo hormone replacement therapy during menopause and may not suffer from uterine erosion.
Instructions:
Bleeding after sex and between periods: Another symptom of vaginal ectropion is bleeding after intercourse and in between periods. This usually occurs sometime after period or even before period. If you normally experience slight or light bleeding that is not your menstrual period, it could be erosion in your cervix.
The columnar cells are fragile and may break easily.
Any kind of trauma or pressure in this region can easily cause the bleeding.
Cervical erosion and bleeding in early pregnancy for almost no reason may be related to this condition.
Bleeding may also occur after bowel movement. If you experience post coital spotting or bleeding especially during pregnancy, you should see a doctor for checkup just to make sure it is nothing serious.
