Ingredients
The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that opens into the vagina. It has two types of cells:
Glandular cells, which normally line the inside of the cervix
Squamous cells, which normally cover the outside of the cervix
Cervical ectropion happens when the glandular cells from inside the cervix are present on the outer surface of the cervix. This area may look red and inflamed during a pelvic examination, but it is not an infection and not cancer.
This condition is mainly related to hormonal changes, especially higher oestrogen levels. Common causes include:
Pregnancy
Use of hormonal contraception (such as the combined oral contraceptive pill)
Adolescence and young adulthood
After childbirth
Preparation
Many women with cervical ectropion have no symptoms at all, and the condition is often found during a routine pelvic examination or Pap smear.
When symptoms do occur, they may include:
Light vaginal bleeding, especially after sexual intercourse
Postcoital bleeding
Increased vaginal discharge (usually clear or mucus-like)
Mild pelvic discomfort (less common)
These symptoms can be worrying, but they are usually harmless once more serious causes have been excluded.
