Patient's question:
I want to know how to distinguish between vaginitis and cervical erosion. It has been a year, and I have had excessive yellowish-white discharge, pain during intercourse without bleeding, but with a rotten egg-like odor. I want to know if it is vaginitis or cervical erosion.Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is possible that you have vaginitis. However, cervical erosion may also be present, and this needs to be confirmed through a gynecological examination. It is recommended that you promptly undergo a leukorrhea test and colposcopy to obtain a definitive diagnosis. Additionally, it is advised to avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain local cleanliness by wiping with warm water, and wash underwear separately, ensuring they are exposed to sunlight as much as possible. Vaginitis is a condition that is difficult to fully cure. Friends who are patients should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they enhance their confidence in combating vaginitis and believe that recovery is certain.
