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 an increase in white discharge with a foul odor. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told it's cervical erosion. Will moderate to severe cervical erosion affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
A simple cervical erosion is not a disease but a normal physiological phenomenon. If there are no symptoms such as vaginal itching or abnormal discharge, treatment is generally not necessary, and it usually does not affect pregnancy. You don't need to worry too much. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examination in a reputable Grade-A hospital as soon as possible based on their specific condition to receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep the room well-ventilated, and consume light, soft, and easily digestible foods while drinking plenty of warm water daily.
