Introduction
Cervical erosion, also known as cervical ectropion, is a common gynecological condition in which the delicate cells from the inner lining of the cervix (endocervical canal) spread to the outer surface of the cervix. Although the term “erosion” suggests damage, it is usually not a serious condition.
Understanding Cervical Erosion:
The cervix has two types of cells: squamous cells (outer cervix) and glandular cells (inner cervix).
In cervical erosion, glandular cells extend outward, making the cervix look red and inflamed.
It is generally benign and often discovered during routine pelvic examinations.
Causes & Symptoms:
Causes:
- Hormonal changes (common in women of reproductive age, pregnancy, or oral contraceptive use)
- Infections (chronic cervicitis due to bacteria, viruses, or fungi)
- Physical irritation (from childbirth, intrauterine devices, or frequent vaginal infections)
- High estrogen levels (puberty, pregnancy, contraceptive pills)
Symptoms:
- Many women may not experience symptoms, but when present, they include:
- Vaginal discharge (often whitish or mucoid)
- Post-coital bleeding (bleeding after intercourse)
- Intermenstrual spotting
- Pain during or after intercourse (dyspareunia)
- Burning or irritation in some cases
Complications:
If untreated, chronic cervical erosion may lead to:
- Persistent vaginal infections
- Difficulty in conception (rare)
- Increased risk of sexually transmitted infections
- Misdiagnosis confusion with precancerous lesions
Diagnosis :
Diagnosis involves:
- History & Clinical Examination –
- Pelvic examination: Red, inflamed cervix visible on speculum exam.
- Pap smear: To rule out precancerous or cancerous changes.
- Colposcopy: Magnified view of the cervix to examine suspicious areas.
- Biopsy (if required): To exclude malignancy.
