Patient's question:
About four years ago, I had high-risk sexual contact. A thorough examination revealed candidal vaginitis and cervical erosion. It's only now that I'm getting tested, but I haven't been tested for sexually transmitted diseases. I've had bleeding gums for about a year now. I've taken vitamin C, but now my skin breaks when I eat, and even when I wash my face in the morning. Could this be a sexually transmitted disease? Or is it just because I only brush my teeth in the morning and not at other times? Is the chance of a sexually transmitted disease high?Doctor's answer:
If the gums bleed repeatedly, it is advisable to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. If there is cervical inflammation or cervical erosion, it is recommended to visit the gynecology department for a cervical smear test. There is a certain relationship between the two, but there is no necessary connection. In addition to promptly treating vaginitis, patients should maintain a positive attitude to face the disease. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment.
