How is cervical erosion considered severe?

Patient's question:

I was diagnosed with severe cervical erosion even more than a year ago. However, the medication prescribed by the doctor, which I used to clean the vagina and apply regularly, did not show any improvement during each prenatal check-up. Over time, I didn't have the time to go for follow-up check-ups, feeling that it was pointless anyway. Last June, I went back to work, and I heard that the medicine there was good, so I went to the pharmacy to see if there were any medications for cervical erosion. But the staff said that with severe erosion, there might be bleeding in the white discharge or urine—though I forgot which. I replied that I had never experienced any bleeding, and they said that must mean it wasn't severe. I didn't buy any medicine after that. In August, I accidentally became pregnant and had a medication-induced abortion, but it wasn't completely effective, so I had a D&C procedure. After that, I became very cautious. At first, I noticed nothing unusual, but later I found that my white discharge was very abnormal.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the most obvious symptoms for moderate and severe cervical erosion patients are increased leukorrhea, yellow in color and viscous in texture, or leukorrhea mixed with blood streaks. In very few cases, post-coital bleeding may recur. Long-term stimulation of the external genitalia by inflammatory leukorrhea can also lead to vulvar pruritus. Additionally, since the cervical lymphatic channels are directly connected to the parametrium, inflammation can spread repeatedly through the lymphatic system to the pelvic cavity, causing pelvic connective tissue inflammation, which may result in symptoms such as lower back and sacral pain, as well as lower abdominal distension and fullness.
