Patient's question:
I have vaginitis, but I've been busy with work these days and have been enduring it. I haven't gone to the hospital for medication or treatment, but it seems my condition has improved quite a bit, like it has turned into cervical erosion. Does vaginitis cause cervical erosion? How can I prevent it?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is called cervical columnar epithelial retrogression, which is a normal physiological phenomenon of the cervix. Therefore, vaginitis does not cause cervical erosion. If it is just simple cervical erosion, it does not require treatment. The cervix needs to be screened. If there is no recurrence of inflammation and it is just simple erosion, it does not need to be concerned. If abnormal discharge occurs, vaginal medication can be used to treat the inflammation, and that is sufficient. Vaginitis causes great harm to patients. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay attention to self-care, such as eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding irritating foods. It is hoped that patients with vaginitis can receive professional treatment.
