Unmarried women may develop cervical erosion without realizing it is related to sexual activity, such as unprotected intercourse or lack of knowledge about sexual health. It could also result from frequent sexual activity causing prolonged friction on the cervix. Additionally, long-term use of vaginal cleansers may disrupt the natural bacterial balance in the vagina, leading to cervical erosion.
