Patient's question:
Recently, my leukorrhea was a bit abnormal, and my menstruation also didn't come on time. Three months ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. I knew that I had cervical erosion, so, did I have cervical erosion three months ago? Will it lead to cancer?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is not a disease; it is caused by cervical columnar epithelial displacement. Due to the fluctuation of estrogen, the cervical columnar epithelium shifts outward. As long as you undergo a TCT/HPV screening to rule out cervical epithelial dysplasia, you will not develop cancer. It is recommended that you have these two tests done carefully.Irregular menstruation suggests you should have a sex hormone panel and a thorough thyroid function check. Based on the hormone test results, treatment can be adjusted to regulate your menstrual cycle. For severe cases of cervical erosion, it is advised to seek medical attention early and follow the doctor's recommendations for treatment. Avoid switching medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect.
Thank you.
