What does cervical erosion 2 degree mean?

Cervical erosion 2 degrees refers to the degree of cervical erosion, according to the size of the erosion area, cervical erosion can be divided into mild, moderate and severe, of which 2 degrees usually refers to moderate cervical erosion.

Cervical erosion is actually the performance of cervical columnar epithelium, rather than real "erosion". Under normal circumstances, the surface of the cervix is covered with squamous epithelium, pink; The columnar epithelium in the cervical canal is thin and red. When the columnar epithelium moves outward to the surface of the cervix, due to the thin columnar epithelium, the capillaries below are exposed, making the surface of the cervix appear red and looks like" erosion".

Cervical erosion 2 degrees means that about 1/3 to 2/3 of the surface of the cervix has this phenomenon of columnar epithelium moving outward. Cervical erosion is usually related to hormone level changes, infection, mechanical stimulation and other factors, most of which are benign physiological changes.

However, cervical erosion may sometimes coexist with cervical inflammation or cervical lesions (such as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia), so when cervical erosion is detected, the doctor may recommend further tests, such as cervical smear or cervical biopsy, to rule out other potential problems.
