Patient's question:
You are a bartender, and my profession involves frequent contact with alcohol, so I also drink it, and I also smoke. One week ago, I felt discomfort in my lower abdomen, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that it was cervical erosion and pelvic inflammatory disease. I want to ask if cervical erosion, pelvic inflammatory disease, and smoking beer are related?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion, pelvic inflammatory disease, and smoking beer are also related to you, but not directly. Smoking and drinking beer can lead to endocrine disorders. Endocrine disorders, estrogen fluctuations, can cause cervical columnar epithelial cell displacement, leading to erosion. Smoking and drinking beer can trigger a decline in the body's resistance. This can weaken the immune function, allowing bacteria to take advantage of the situation. In fact, if you have cervical erosion, there is no need to be afraid. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as symptoms are detected in time and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
