Patient's question:
Female, 46 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 continuously, and there's also a foul odor. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told it's cervical erosion. What are the symptoms of cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Patients with cervical erosion generally have no obvious symptoms in mild cases. In slightly more severe cases, symptoms may include increased vaginal discharge and bleeding during intercourse, as well as lower back pain. These may also be accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients need to seek systematic and standardized examination in a reputable Grade A hospital as soon as possible based on their specific condition to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain regular routines, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
