Patient's question:
Female, 28 years old, my menstrual cycle has always been quite irregular. I never took it seriously before, but recently I've noticed an increase in white discharge with a foul odor. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told it was cervical erosion. Will it recur after undergoing the surgery for cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion does not require surgery, so there is no issue of it becoming serious. Cervical erosion is actually quite common, with many women experiencing it. Generally, it does not need treatment. If symptoms such as yellow discharge, painful urination, or abdominal pain occur, it may be a sign of cervical inflammation, and timely medication is needed. It is recommended that women undergo cervical screening once a day, pay attention to daily health care, change underwear frequently, and always maintain personal hygiene, as well as develop good lifestyle habits.
