Patient's question:
A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a vaginal examination. The doctor checked my vagina and said I have moderate cervical erosion. I have not given birth to any children. Could you please do a cervical scraping test to verify how I developed cervical erosion? Will this scraping test affect future childbirth? The results of the vaginal secretion test showed that the indicators for Escherichia coli and hydrogen peroxide concentration were not good, while the rest were normal.Doctor's answer:
General cervical erosion often leads to increased vaginal discharge, odor, and symptoms such as lower back pain. Since these symptoms can also appear in conditions like vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease, patients cannot self-diagnose cervical erosion. A doctor must perform a vaginal examination to confirm the diagnosis.A cervical smear test involves collecting cervical cells for cytological examination, which can screen for precancerous lesions of the cervix and confirm cervical inflammation. This test is painless and has no impact on future fertility.
The occurrence of cervical erosion poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients should pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene and avoid sexual activity in daily life. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
