Patient's question:
Today I had a LEEP surgery. Before the surgery, the digital colposcopy was performed without iodine and acetic acid tests, with an abnormal area of over 23. A routine vaginal discharge test was done, and the ultrasound showed pelvic effusion. The doctor then diagnosed it as severe cervical erosion. Can this be diagnosed? What are the purposes of iodine tests and acetic acid on severe cervical erosion?Medical history and treatment effectiveness: Today I had a LEEP surgery.

Desired help: Detailed, serious, and accurate.
Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is a manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation, primarily caused by infection, which can lead to symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge and contact bleeding. The treatment is primarily based on physical therapy, as medication is generally ineffective. According to the area of cervical erosion, it can be divided into three degrees, and doctors can diagnose it through a careful visual examination. Cervical erosion is an easily occurring gynecological disease, and during medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
