Patient's question:
Female, 44 years old, my menstrual cycle has always been irregular. I never took it seriously before. Recently, I noticed that my vaginal discharge has been increasing and there is a foul odor. I went to the hospital for a check-up and was told it was cervical erosion. What are the treatment methods for severe cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is a regression of cervical columnar epithelium and does not belong to a disease. If the TCT test is normal, there is no need for treatment. For abnormal vaginal discharge, it is recommended to undergo a thorough examination of the vaginal discharge to check the vaginal cleanliness and pay attention to the balance of flora. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a regular tertiary hospital for systematic and standardized examination as soon as possible to receive symptomatic treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
