Cervix erosion, anybody had this?

[Marne]

I am 34 weeks pg and today i had a bleed so was sent to hospital, i was told that i had an infection on my cervix and a cervix erosion, i was also told that they could'nt treat it until after i have had the baby then i have to see a doctor to see if it needs freezing. Has anybody had any expereance of this? I dont realy understand what is wrong.

I've had this altough not whilst pregnant. It is where the lining on the inside of your cervix grows on the outside of your cervix.

\when rubbed it starts to bleed. (Kind of like a graze). They will cauterixe it but first need to check for abnormal cells.

I've had this, too. I had it for years and years, but having babies appears to have fixed it.

It's not a big deal. Some people call it a cervical "evasion". Not sure which name is better.

shorty3's description is accurate. It's like endometriosis, but much less severe.

The infection on your cervix sounds a bit more worrisome to me, to be frank.

I had until I was PG with DS (he's now 16mo, still BF and it hasn't returned). It's NOT associated with cervical cancer and is only cauterised if it really bothers you (you can get a bleed when you ovulate).

The cervical infection sounds a bit wierd - did they send off a sample for culture?

They took a swob, they said i had an infection where the erosion had been bleeding, they were not sure about giving me antibiotics until the swob resaults come back which should be next week.

Like others have said this erosion or ectropian as it is now called is harmless and tend to become more apparrent during pregnancy due to hormones.
