Patient's question:
On January 10th, there was itching and redness in the lower body, and there was a lot of leukorrhea. After a thorough examination at the hospital, vaginitis and second-degree cervical erosion were diagnosed. The cervical erosion was not specifically examined. For the vaginitis, tetracycline ointment was applied to the external genitalia, and metronidazole vaginal suppositories were inserted. After using them for about 11 days, there were no more symptoms of itching and redness in the lower body. I would like to ask how to treat second-degree cervical erosion and whether it can heal on its own.Doctor's answer:
The presence of a foul odor and external vaginal itching in women is a symptom of vaginitis. Vaginitis can often heal on its own with timely treatment. Cervical erosion is caused by cervical columnar epithelial ectopia. Regular TCT tests can be performed, and if the results are normal, it is important to pay attention to preventing inflammation in daily life. For patients, if the condition of cervical erosion is severe, timely symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication are necessary. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of cervical erosion. Additionally, patients should maintain a positive mood to avoid exacerbating the condition.
