Patient's question:
Female, 36 years old, my menstrual cycle has always been quite irregular. I never took it seriously before, but recently I've noticed that my vaginal discharge has been increasing and there's a foul odor. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said it's cervical erosion. What should I pay attention to with mild cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion, first undergo a cervical liquid-based cytology examination. If it is caused by inflammation, you can use Xiaomi (a topical medication), one piece per night, for a seven-day course of treatment. Maintain good hygiene of the external genitalia, wear cotton underwear, change sanitary pads frequently during menstruation, and practice safe sex to prevent gynecological infections. Mild cervical erosion is generally treatable with a single course of medication. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, stay warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water daily.
