Cervical erosion is defined as the replacement of the squamous epithelium of the ectocervix with columnar epithelium. The condition can arise from congenital or acquired causes, including hormonal factors and infections, presenting symptoms like vaginal discharge and contact bleeding. Management options vary depending on the patient’s situation and include thermal cauterization, cryosurgery, or laser vaporization.
