Patient's question:
Female, 52 years old. I went through menopause two years ago, but recently I've been experiencing severe itching in the external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Please ask: What are the causes of cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
The causes of cervical erosion are mainly a few points:1. Personal hygiene during daily life—bathing is essential, and underwear should be washed separately, preferably sterilized.
2. Special attention should be paid to cleaning during menstruation. If the period lasts for a long time, it is easily infected.
3. During sexual intercourse, the male's genital area must be cleaned thoroughly.
4. After giving birth or undergoing an abortion, it is very easy to get infected. These are the main reasons. Then, individual hormonal differences may also play a role. Anyway, regular exercise and attention to cleanliness are important.
Cervical erosion is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain cleanliness. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
