Patient's question:
Female, 36 years old. Recently, she has found that her private area is always itchy and feels hot, as if it were being burned. Is this a sign of inflammation? What is the best treatment for cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Many patients with cervical erosion are discovered during gynecological examinations or follow-up visits for other gynecological conditions. Patients themselves generally would never notice the symptoms of cervical erosion. The most obvious symptoms for moderate and severe cervical erosion patients are: increased leukorrhea, yellow in color and viscous in texture, or leukorrhea mixed with blood streaks. A very small number of patients may experience contact bleeding. Among severe cervical erosion patients, symptoms such as frequent urination and urinary urgency may also occur. Long-term stimulation of the external genitalia by inflammatory secretions can also lead to pruritus vulvae.
