Patient's question:
During sexual intercourse with my husband, sometimes my legs get chafed, but there is no pain. Also, my vaginal discharge is always normal, with a milky white color and no odor. During this health check-up, I was found to have mild cervical erosion. Can mild cervical erosion be left untreated?Doctor's answer:
Mild cervical erosion is caused by cervical columnar epithelial metaplasia. If there are no clinical symptoms, such as increased vaginal discharge, yellow discharge, or a bad odor, it is considered physiological and does not require treatment. For the treatment of cervical erosion, methods such as laser, cryotherapy, and microwave therapy can be used. However, before treatment, a cervical liquid-based cytology (TCT) test must be performed to rule out cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer. Cervical erosion is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During treatment, 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!
