Cervical erosion refers to cervical ectopic columnar epithelium. In unmarried women, cervical ectopic columnar epithelium may result from excessive genital cleaning causing vaginal bacterial imbalance, or from unhygienic sexual activity leading to bacterial infection. If personal hygiene is neglected regularly, or sanitary pads are not changed promptly or local cleanliness is not maintained during menstruation, it may also lead to cervical ectopic columnar epithelium in unmarried women.
