Those indexes can get corrupted on your HDD/SSD and to repair them they need to be rebuild - re-indexed. Bitcoind has two different options to do this - a fast way called "reindex-chainstate" (which just rebuilds the UTXO set from the blocks as you have them) and the slow but complete way called just "reindex" that would even recheck all your block data - see for details here: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/60709/when-should-i-use-reindex-chainstate-and-when-reindex + To find/access information fast in large data sets like the Bitcoin blockchain indexes are needed.
