Cervical ectropion is a disease caused by the overgrowth of glandular cells in the cervix. Women with cervical ectropion (CTC) with suspected cancer have a relatively high incidence of HPV infection compared with cervical cancer. in women with a normal cervix. The risk of developing cancer from the disease is a concern for many women. Many people are choosing to get vaccinated to prevent cervical cancer more effectively.

Cervical ectropion is a lesion caused by the growth and invasion of glandular cells into the outer surface of the cervix. These cells continue to keep the secretion function like when in the cervix, so it causes an increase in vaginal discharge, the cervix secretes a lot of mucus, making the vaginal environment always wet to create lips. The ideal environment for the growth and reproduction of harmful bacteria and viruses, including HPV. The disease is common in women in the period of childbirth
Delayed gland is a benign lesion. Endometriosis also does not cause cervical cancer but increases the risk of HPV infection while HPV is a high-risk virus that causes cervical cancer

The development of ectropion will adversely affect the cervix. Therefore, the earlier HPV vaccination is given, the more it will help the recovery process and avoid affecting the function of the cervix. Vaccination against HPV does not harm the treatment of ecchymosis and vice versa. It is possible to both treat pyelonephritis and vaccinate against the disease.
The best time to get the HPV vaccine is before you start being sexually active. That's why the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S. CDC) recommends getting this vaccine at age 11 or 12, or as early as possible starting at age 9. If your child is 13 years or older and has not been vaccinated, you can still get the vaccine after the age of 26. In Vietnam, the HPV vaccine as recommended by the vaccine manufacturer is only given to women during age from 9 to 26 years old

Grade 1: Small invasive glandular cells, about 0.2 - 0.5 mm. A cloudy yellow discharge is deposited in the cervix.
Level 2: More widely invasive glandular cells. about 0.8 - 1 mm of cervical surface. At this stage, the cervix is ​​seriously inflamed, there may be light bleeding during sex.
Level 3: The glandular cells are deeply rooted and very sensitive to external influences. Pain and bleeding during sex.

Grade 3 ectropion may be a predisposing factor for cervical cancer. Because at this level, the cervix is ​​seriously inflamed, which is a favorable environment for HPV to penetrate. The process of HPV entering and causing disease lasts from 3 to 5 years.
In addition, ectopic pregnancy can cause other complications such as cervical polyps, cysts, cervical tear, and blocked fallopian tubes.

Anti-inflammatory drugs: Medicines usually only relieve symptoms, not cure the disease. Gland destruction: Destroy the gland with electricity, laser, cryotherapy, or chemicals. Before the procedure, colposcopy or vaginal smear should be done to detect abnormalities of cervical cells. Burning glands can cause dangers such as sclerosis, stagnation of menstrual blood, hindering conception, difficult delivery, and limiting conception. Gland removal is rarely used. Instead, keep the genitals clean, and have regular gynecological exams every 3 or 6 months.
If you have been treated with gland burning, the patient should note:
Abstain from sex for about 2-3 months after burning. Use anti-inflammatory drugs during the period of abstinence. After sex, you need to wash your hands and then put a vaginal pill to prevent recurrence.
