Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling a lower abdominal heaviness and an increase in white discharge with a foul odor, so I quickly went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said it was cervical erosion. I'd like to consult on how this condition might have been caused.Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is generally physiological, caused by the regression of columnar epithelium. If there are no symptoms, treatment is usually not necessary. Just pay attention to wearing loose and breathable clothing, and have regular check-ups at the hospital. However, cervical erosion can also be caused by chronic inflammation and long-term stimulation, leading to abnormal discharge and contact bleeding, among other symptoms. If these symptoms appear, active treatment should be taken, such as nutritional therapy or physical therapy. But even with self-healing, the condition may still recur. Early sexual activity. If women have sexual activity too early or have too many sexual partners, this can lead to excessive sexual intensity, thereby causing cervical erosion.
