The cervix acts like a barrier to prevent bacteria and viruses from entering the uterus. When the cervix is infected, there is an increased risk for the infection to spread in the uterus. The squamous-cylindrical junction is the main site through which the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) enters the epithelium and can infect its deep cells. The HPV infection is correlated with cervical erosions. The treatment of cervical erosions has an important significance for preventing the occurrence of precancerous lesions and cervical cancer.

Inflammatory lesions of the cervical mucosa are associated with excessive discharge, which has an unpleasant odour, grey or greenish-yellow colour and symptoms such as lower abdominal pain, back pain, itching, pruritus, itching and discharge. Inflammation of the cervix is the response to infection. Other causes may include foreign body trauma (intrauterine device, vaginal tampon or other) and adverse effects from the use of gels or creams containing irritants.  Among the infectious organisms responsible for such lesions are Trichomonas vaginalis, Candida albicans, Gardnerella vaginalis and other bacteria.

A cervical erosion (cervical ectropion) can occur for numerous reasons among women of childbearing age. It is considered a benign condition caused by pathogens or induced by increased exposure of the cervical epithelium to estrogen. Moreover, cervical erosions can be of traumatic, mechanical etiology, such as intrauterine devices or foreign bodies introduced into the vagina. Epithelialization of the vaginal mucus and cervix is crucial in the management of cervical erosions. Acute inflammation of the cervix as a result from direct infection or trauma translates into several symptoms, such as white to yellow vaginal discharge (predominant symptom caused by the mucus‑secreting glandular epithelium), post‑coital or intermenstrual bleeding, dysuria, pelvic pain, vulvovaginal irritation and dyspareunia.

CERVIRON^® is a treatment for acceleration of healing of cervical erosions. They favor the complete degree of cervical epithelialization of the damaged tissue and restoration of the initial colpo‑ecosystem. Their topical application was observed to be effective in reducing unpleasant symptoms such as vaginal discharge, pelvic pain, and vaginal bleeding. In terms of adverse events, the medical device is considered safe.
