Description:

Cervical erosion is a common gynaecological disease. Cervical erosion affects 17–50% of people. The prevalence declines after the age of 35 but increases with parity. For sexually active teenagers cervical erosion affects up to 80% of them. Furthermore the prevalence is influenced by the type of contraception used. It is less common in women who use barrier methods of contraception and more common in those who take oral contraceptives. The prevalence of cervical erosion in preterm female infants is approximately 29% with a peak of 68% in the first month of life due to maternal oestrogen transmission through the placenta. Cervical erosion is commonly discovered during routine pelvic examinations for women of reproductive age. Although it is an asymptomatic variation chronic cervicitis has been associated with it. It is a common physiological condition that affects both pregnant women and adolescents.

Cause:

a. Higher levels of estrogen. The cervical epithelium proliferates and differentiates due to the cervix's high sensitivity to estrogen. As a result, the following conditions of excessive estrogen exposure are commonly associated with cervical erosion: Pregnant adolescents hormonal contraceptive women and menstruating women—typically during the ovulatory phase of the menstrual cycle. b. Congenital illness. Because the squamocolumnar connection continues to exist at the original neonatal site. Maternal hormone exposure in the late stages of fetal development and the first month of life causes endocervical columnar epithelial hyperactivity, resulting in cervical erosion. c. In postmenopausal women, it is rare. When it contracts and inverts during the postmenopausal phase as a result of falling estrogen levels, the squamous cell epithelium of the ectocervix is drawn into the cervix.

Symptom:

Cervical erosion is usually asymptomatic. Females may exhibit any of the following symptoms: Vaginal secretions. This is the most common symptom. The vaginal discharge can be yellow or white but it is not purulent. Women with cervical erosion tend to have more vaginal discharge due to the larger surface area of mucus-secreting columnar cells. Additionally they may experience bleeding after sex. It affects 5–25% of women with cervical erosion. Postcoital bleeding is caused by the easy tearing of the epithelium's fine blood vessels during sexual activity. One of the most common causes of vaginal bleeding during the third trimester of pregnancy is cervical erosion. Symptoms may include menstruation like bleeding,  dyspareunia, pelvic discomfort cervicitis, back pain,  Micturition disturbances.
