Patient's question:
Female, 34 years old, recently discovered during a hospital check-up that she had cervical erosion of degree II. She is a bit worried, as it is said to be treatable. She wants to ask what are the general symptoms of cervical erosion.Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is often caused by the irritation from sexual activity, so it generally occurs in women who have sexual activity. The main symptoms include an increase in leukorrhea, which is thick and mucous or purulent in nature. Pain during intercourse and sometimes leukorrhea mixed with blood streaks may also occur. Mild to moderate cervical erosion can usually be treated conservatively with suppositories. Severe cervical erosion is difficult to treat with medication alone, and surgical treatment may be considered. If left untreated, there is a possibility of carcinogenic potential.
