Patient's question:
Female, 44 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 has a foul odor. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and they said it's cervical erosion. Please ask, is cervical erosion necessarily required to be treated surgically to improve?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is divided into three degrees, generally degrees 1-2 are mild and do not require surgical treatment. It is recommended to use polyphenol sulfone pessary for vaginal treatment, which is more effective. If cervical erosion is severe, degree 3, the effect of drug treatment is poor, and it is better to undergo surgical repair treatment. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal Grade 3-A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examination based on their own condition to achieve symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients need to maintain regular routines, take good care to prevent cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink more hot water.
