Patient's question:
Today I went to the hospital for a thorough physical examination and also had a gynecological check-up. If I hadn't had the examination carefully, everything would have been fine. But after the careful check-up, the doctor said I have cervical erosion and recommended that I have surgery immediately. This really scared me. Usually, I don't feel any discomfort, and my menstruation is also normal. How could cervical erosion suddenly appear? Hello, what causes this?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is not a disease, but just an external manifestation of the cervix. Some cervical erosion is a normal physiological change and does not require treatment. Women during adolescence, those taking oral hormone medications, and pregnant women may all have cervical erosion, which is a result of the regression of cervical columnar epithelium. Pathological cervical erosion is an inflammatory condition of the cervical epithelium, often presenting with symptoms of contact-based abrasion. It can be treated through physical therapy or minimally invasive surgery.The daily treatment for patients with cervical erosion primarily involves symptomatic management. Patients can take oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and focus on a diet rich in light, soft, and easy-to-digest foods.
