Patient's question:
My cousin has recently been feeling a heavy and bloated sensation in her lower abdomen, and her vaginal discharge is also not normal, with a bad odor. She suspects she might have a gynecological disease and is afraid it could be cervical erosion. However, some people say it might be vaginitis. So, she wants to ask, what are the differences between candidal vaginitis and cervical erosion of degree II?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, this is considered two different diseases. Although they are both common gynecological conditions in women, the affected areas are entirely different. Candidal vulvovaginitis is a vaginal inflammation caused by the overgrowth of fungi due to an imbalance in the vaginal pH. If not treated promptly, it can spread to the cervix and external genitalia. Cervical erosion of degree II refers to the erosion of the cervix caused by recurrent cervical inflammation. It is recommended that patients seek treatment at a regular hospital. Vaginitis is a condition that is difficult to fully cure. Friends with this condition should always maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism. Only in this way can they boost their confidence in fighting vaginitis and believe that recovery is definitely possible.
