Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am 24 years old. Recently, my mother has been feeling unwell, so she went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said she had cervical erosion. At first, I thought it was cervical erosion, but my mother said it was cervical erosion. These are two different diseases, so I want to ask what the differences are between these two conditions?Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis and cervical inflammation are conditions with different diagnostic criteria. Cervicitis includes inflammation of the vaginal part of the cervix and inflammation of the mucous membrane of the cervical canal. This encompasses vaginitis and cervical inflammation. Cervical inflammation refers to inflammation of the cervix alone, primarily manifested as cervical erosion, cervical hyperplasia, cervical polyps, Nabothian cysts, etc. It generally leads to symptoms such as contact bleeding during sexual intercourse and abnormal vaginal discharge. After diagnosis, active treatment is required. Cervicitis is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During medication, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia, change underwear frequently, and wish female patients a speedy recovery!
