Does Microgynon Cause Cervical Erosion?
I have been taking Microgynon 30 for approx 20 years, 5 years ago I developed cervical erosion, I was treated with cryosurgery, I have since had the cervical erosion 18 months ago whist continuing with the contraceptive pill and had further cryosurgery 18 months ago. Over the past three months I discovered again I am bleeding during sex and have decided to stop my pill, and today have had further cryosurgery. Can you please tell me if stopping the pill will help any further erosions? Thanks.

Hi,
There is no conclusive evidence to suggest that Microgynon 30 causes cervical erosion. Cervical erosion, also known as cervical ectropion or cervical eversion, is a common condition that occurs when the lining of the cervix protrudes onto the outer surface of the cervix. While the exact cause of cervical erosion is unknown, it is thought to be linked to hormonal changes, infection, or injury to the cervix.
Stopping the use of Microgynon 30 may help to reduce the incidence of cervical erosion by decreasing the amount of hormonal influence on the cervix, but it is not a guaranteed solution. However, it is important to note that cervical erosion can have various causes, and stopping the use of Microgynon 30 may not address the underlying cause of the condition.
It is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and personalized recommendations regarding your contraceptive options and management of cervical erosion.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
