Patient's question:
Previously, I had cervical erosion of degree 1, which was not very serious. I didn't seek treatment as I paid attention to hygiene. Recently, I've been experiencing itching in the lower abdomen and an increase in vaginal discharge. After examination, it was found that I have bacterial vaginosis and cervical erosion of degree 2. Could you please tell me if there is a relationship between bacterial vaginosis and cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your question. First, cervical erosion itself is caused by chronic inflammation such as vaginitis that has not been effectively treated. Now that cervical erosion has subsided, and the issue of vaginitis has reappeared, it is necessary to actively treat it. While maintaining good personal hygiene and sexual hygiene, vaginal suppositories should be used for treatment, along with oral metronidazole, three times a day, two tablets each time. After one week, a follow-up test for bacterial vaginosis is recommended, as this condition is not easily resolved.Dear patient, you should maintain a positive mindset and face this issue with optimism. Only by doing so can you boost your confidence in combating bacterial vaginosis and believe that you will surely recover.
