Does cervical erosion cause back pain?


Healing with hope, guiding with care.
In addition to chronic cervicitis, ectopia columnaris, squamous intraepithelial lesions, and even early cervical cancer may present as erosive changes. Ectopia columnaris is a colposcopic term describing the physiological outward migration of the columnar epithelium from the cervical canal to the vaginal portion of the cervix. The columnar epithelium is thin and the underlying stroma is visible red to the naked eye. This condition has been called "cervical erosion", and is considered to be one of the most common pathological types of chronic cervicitis. At this stage, it has been clarified that "cervical erosion" is not a true erosion caused by pathological epithelial ulcer or deletion, and is also inconsistent with the definition of chronic cervical inflammation, i.e. chronic inflammatory cell infiltration in the stroma. Therefore,"cervical erosion" is no longer appropriate as a diagnostic term for chronic cervical inflammation. Cervical erosion-like changes, but a clinical symptom, can be physiological changes, can also be pathological changes. Physiological columnar epithelial ectopic, more common in adolescence, fertility women estrogen secretion, oral contraceptives or pregnancy, due to the role of estrogen, squamous junction outward shift, cervical local erosion-like changes in appearance. In addition, cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions and early cervical cancer, can also make cervical erosion-like changes. Therefore, cervical cytology and/or HPV testing should be performed in patients with subcervical erosion-like changes. Colposcopy and biopsy should be performed if necessary to exclude cervical squamous intraepithelial lesions or cervical cancer. Pathological cervical erosion may also present with symptoms of backache.
