Patient's question:
Today I went to the hospital for a thorough gynecological examination. The doctor said I have inflammation and severe cervical erosion, but didn't mention how to treat it. After checking the routine vaginal discharge, the white blood cell count was high, the cleanliness was degree three, and the pH value was elevated. The doctor prescribed some medication for vaginal infection but didn't say how to treat the cervical erosion. When I asked him, he told me to have a colposcopy. My mother and coworker advised me not to do it. I'm married, have almost no sexual activity, and had only one time two years ago. I don't have a boyfriend now... How can cervical erosion be treated? I feel so upset and emotionally drained.Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract infection is mostly caused by vaginitis, but it can also be due to hygiene issues. Fungal vaginitis requires dedicated treatment, usually lasting for 3 months to a year. Wash the external genitalia regularly and pay attention to hygiene. In fact, having vaginitis is not scary at all. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
