Patient's question:
Female, 34 years old, recently experiencing discomfort all over the body, with particularly severe lower back and back pain. She also has a lot of leukorrhea, which is thin and has a foul odor. She is very concerned and asks if cervical erosion needs to be treated?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion does not require treatment. As long as the TCT and HPV tests are normal, there is no need for treatment. The epithelium of the cervical canal is columnar epithelium, which is naturally not smooth, while the vaginal part is smooth. Cervical erosion is the regression of columnar epithelium in the cervical canal. It has now been reached a consensus among experts that it is not a disease and there is no need to worry. It can be skipped. If there is contact bleeding or excessive vaginal discharge, surgery may be considered. Otherwise, there is no need to do it. It is not that serious. Generally, there will be no aftereffects, although there is a risk of over-treatment.
