Patient's question:
Vaginitis and cervical can be different, I originally had mild vaginitis, and then went for a follow-up check-up, the doctor said that I now have cervical, so what are the differences between these two?Doctor's answer:
Hello, cervical erosion is caused by the stimulation of inflammatory secretions, leading to the shedding of squamous epithelial cells at the external os of the cervical canal, which are then covered by fibrotic columnar epithelium. The surface appears bright red, smooth, or uneven, and this change is referred to as "cervical erosion." On the other hand, vaginitis is a condition where the vaginal mucosa exhibits symptoms due to inflammation and infection. Both are common gynecological diseases, and treatment depends on your response to medication and the extent of recovery to determine which condition is easier to heal. During medication, women should pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
