Patient's question:
These days, while washing underwear, I always find a lot of cheesy-looking discharge on them, and it smells very bad. I also feel that my private area is always damp and a bit itchy, and my lower abdomen feels uncomfortable. Please ask: How should married women with cervical erosion be treated?Doctor's answer:
Actually, cervical erosion is one manifestation of chronic cervicitis, and cervical erosion is not the kind of erosion we usually recognize. When the epidermis at the external os of the cervix peels off and is replaced by another type of epithelial tissue, the newly formed epithelial covering is very thin, and even the underlying blood vessels and red tissue can be seen, making it appear as if there is true erosion, hence the term cervical erosion. There are many treatment methods for cervical erosion, including drug methods, physical methods, and surgical methods. The first two methods primarily aim to destroy the columnar epithelium on the eroded surface, causing it to become purulent and peel off, creating conditions for the newly formed squamous epithelium to cover the surface.
