Patient's question:
Female, 35 years old, I have mild cervical erosion, and it's very painful. With itching, I dare not scratch. I've taken medication, but it hasn't improved. Can moderate cervical erosion affect pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
It won't affect it. Before pregnancy, you need to have a thorough check of cervical TCT. Cervical erosion is a physiological inflammation, now referred to as "cervical columnar epithelial regression," and is related to changes in hormone levels and sexual hygiene, among other factors. If you experience skin breakdown after not having sexual intercourse and irregular vaginal bleeding, you don't need to worry about cervical erosion. Just make sure to have a gynecological examination and cervical scraping TCT once a year for follow-up.
