cervical erosion

Hello,
Welcome to ehealthforum.
Cervical erosion is a normal phenomenon, especially during the ovulatory phase in younger women, pregnant women and those taking the oral contraceptive pill which increases the body total estrogen level. Various types of trauma can also cause cervical erosion. Sexual intercourse, tampons, insertion of other objects into the vagina can all cause trauma leading to erosion. Other causes include severe vaginal infections or STDS such as herpes or early syphilis. Forgetting to remove your tampon can also cause vaginal infections that can lead to cervical erosion. Occasionally vaginal douches or other chemicals such as contraceptive creams or foams may cause cervical erosion. Try to find the exact cause in your case and then discuss about the option and necessity to change the contraceptive method with your gynecologist.
Take care.
