Patient's question:
Female, 33 years old, recently feeling uncomfortable all over the body, with severe lower back and back pain. She also has excessive white discharge, which is thin and has a foul odor. She is very worried and asks if a surgery is required for cervical erosion of degree three.Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is generally not a problem if it is mild or less severe and does not require treatment. If it is slightly more severe, symptoms should be evaluated. Typically, there are no blood streaks in normal vaginal discharge, and no tearing occurs during intercourse. In such cases, it is recommended to undergo TCT and HPV tests. If the tests are normal, surgery is not advised. If there are abnormal vaginal discharges, medication may be considered, including topical or vaginal treatments. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, and patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
