Cervical erosion is one of the most common diagnoses women hear. Specialists at the Surgical Clinic “Korona” Medical Center explain how dangerous this condition is, what risks it poses, and what treatment methods modern medicine offers.
Causes of the condition
The term “erosion” refers to a disruption of the mucous membrane around the cervix. This condition is not a disease in itself, but it requires medical observation. Normally, the cervix is covered with squamous epithelium, which is strong and adapted to contact with the external environment. The cervical canal, however, is lined with cylindrical epithelium, which is softer, more delicate, and vulnerable. If a doctor notices these cylindrical cells where squamous cells should be, cervical erosion is diagnosed.
HOW DANGEROUS IS CERVICAL EROSION?
Ectopia itself is not a pathological process, but regular examinations help prevent its progression and the development of serious conditions. The cylindrical epithelium of the cervix is vulnerable to mechanical damage, which can lead to infectious diseases. During cervical erosion, there is a risk of epithelial cell transformation and the development of oncological conditions. This is why every woman should undergo regular preventive examinations by a gynecologist. The “Korona” Clinic offers diagnostic and treatment services for cervical erosion.
