Patient's question:
Last week, I was diagnosed with cervical erosion. Then, for the past six years, I have been experiencing severe menstrual pain where I cannot even go to the bathroom during the pain. I have to lie in bed, unable to even eat, and can only drink some hot water and brown sugar water. But even that doesn't help. Is there a connection between my six years of menstrual pain and cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
There is no necessary relationship between dysmenorrhea and cervical erosion. Most cervical erosion is caused by estrogen-induced cervical columnar epithelial metaplasia, which does not cause dysmenorrhea symptoms. However, if cervical erosion is caused by chronic cervical inflammation, leading to adhesions in the cervical canal and poor menstrual blood flow, it may result in dysmenorrhea symptoms. In such cases, further careful examination should be conducted, such as checking for cervical canal adhesions, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, and other conditions. Cervical erosion is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During treatment, women should pay attention to their own care. It is recommended to maintain external genital hygiene and change underwear frequently.
