Expert ReplyCondition analysis:
Cervical erosions themselves are said to leave the cervix and the uterus prone to infections. Vaginal yeast infections and bacterial infections, such as bacterial vaginosis may be a sign of ectopy as well. There’s little evidence linking infections as a cause for eroding cervix.
Some sources, however, still list infections in the cervical canal as one of the causes.
The changes in the cells of the cervix are said to leave the area susceptible to infections. It is for this reason that cervical ectropion is always associated with infections.
Some sexually transmitted infections (STIs) e.g. syphilis and herpes are also believed to lead to ulcerations in the cervix. This may be evidenced by pus cells or ulcers around the neck of the womb.
Instructions:
Pain: Pain and discomfort are also other signs that are associated with vaginal erosion. Some women complain of back pain. Others complain of pain during intercourse, also called dyspareunia. Cervical ectropion may also lead to pain after sexual intercourse and when undergoing cervical screening.
The pain results from the bleeding of the delicate glandular cells. They end up producing more mucus and fluid than the squamous epithelial cells in the womb.
Other symptoms of erosion in the cervix may include infertility, general ill health and frequent backaches. These, however are not symptoms directly linked to cervical erosion. Instead, they are linked to resultant infections in the pelvic region.
