Patient's question:
I was at the hospital last time because of discomfort in the lower vagina, abnormal discharge, and besides the odor, I underwent a thorough examination. The results showed what appeared to be cervical erosion grade II. I took medication, but the symptoms are still a bit persistent. Usually, I use a washing machine when doing laundry. How does cervical erosion get infected?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is non-infectious. However, some patients with cervical erosion may also have human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Alternatively, they may also have trichomoniasis, candidiasis, or other inflammatory diseases. Whether it is HPV infection, trichomoniasis, or candidiasis, these conditions are infectious. If the same washing machine is used to wash underwear, it may lead to the transmission of these pathogens. There are several treatment methods for cervical erosion, but the diagnostic approach varies depending on the patient's condition. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
