Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I have cervical erosion of degree III and mixed vaginal infection. The doctor believes it is a bacterial infection. Could several instances of homosexual intercourse possibly lead to HPV infection?Doctor's answer:
The vagina is just a cavity, and it is naturally a bacteria-rich environment. Vaginitis is caused by an imbalance in the vaginal flora, and it can be effectively treated with proper medication. The cervical erosion-like changes are not a disease; they are a normal phenomenon. The regression of columnar epithelium is a physiological change, although it can also occur in a pathological manner. You are only 19 years old. As long as your cervical TCT and HPV tests are normal, there is no major issue. HPV infection has many causes, and sexual activity is one of them, but it is not the only cause.
