Can cervical erosion cause brown discharge?

Patient's question:

I am 33 years old. I noticed brown discharge again in my underwear yesterday. My friend said it's caused by cervical erosion. Hello, can cervical erosion cause brown discharge to reappear?

Doctor's answer:

Cervical erosion often causes blood streaks in leukorrhea, and sometimes it may also lead to vaginal discharge of brown secretions. If accompanied by abdominal pain, it could be caused by endometritis or pelvic inflammatory disease. For safety, it is recommended to undergo a comprehensive examination at the hospital, including a color Doppler ultrasound to rule out pelvic inflammatory disease and endometritis. Then, a routine leukorrhea test, cervical smear, or cervical TCT should be performed. If inflammation is detected, timely treatment is necessary.
When patients face the of cervical erosion, we should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid delaying medical consultation. If cervical erosion does not improve after prolonged treatment, it is important to promptly reassess and adjust the treatment plan.
