Patient's question:
Hello. I would like to ask for some consultation. Is chronic cervicitis the same as cervical erosion? I have chronic cervicitis, but after looking up similar symptoms online, some said they had cervical erosion. What's going on? Are these the same views? If not, which one is more serious?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, cervical erosion is one type of cervicitis, and cervical erosion and cervicitis can be treated together. Cervicitis is divided into acute and chronic types, with chronic cervicitis being more common in clinical diagnosis. Therefore, it is necessary to actively and carefully examine the condition, and targeted treatment should be based on the examination results. It is important to maintain local cleanliness and hygiene, and change underwear and underpants frequently. In terms of diet, it is advisable to eat lightly and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
