Abstract
pleCervical erosion is the presence of columnar cells on the ectocervix, which is normally composed of a squamous epithelium Potential causes of erosion include adolescent age, pregnancy, and hormonal contraceptives Some clinicians believe erosion could be a normal asymptomatic variant, whereas others believe it to be correlated with chronic cervicitis The presence of the metaplastic columnar epithelium can manifest a myriad of symptoms including increased vaginal discharge, leukorrhea, postcoital bleeding, pelvic pain, recurrent cervicitis, and dyspareunia.
