Patient's question:
Recently, the vagina has been itchy with sticky discharge and a bad odor. What are the symptoms of mild cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is a very common type of cervical inflammation. Mild cervical erosion is often accompanied by symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, odor, and abdominal pain. It can be treated with Fu Yan Jie or Jie Er Yin for local application every day, or with Xiao Mi. During treatment, sexual activity is strictly prohibited, and spicy and irritating foods should be avoided. Severe cervical erosion, if left untreated, may rarely lead to precancerous lesions or cervical cancer. Long-term use of antibiotics can cause drug resistance and dysbiosis, leading to more severe inflammation and transmission. Therefore, herbal medicine combined with physical therapy or acupuncture is often adopted. Recommended herbal medicines for treating cervical erosion include pure herbal preparations that have the functions of invigorating Qi, promoting blood circulation, and healing wounds.
