Patient's question:
Due to a previous history of induced abortion and lack of proper post-procedure care, I developed moderate cervical erosion. What should I do? It is accompanied by a bad odor and mild itching. Is the problem serious? Should I go to the hospital for a check-up? What specific tests should be conducted?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is a pathological manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation. Vaginal itching and a foul odor in the lower body are related to cervical erosion, but it could also be caused by vaginitis. In your case, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up, such as a routine vaginal discharge test and colposcopy. However, specific examination items should follow the attending doctor's advice. In daily life, pay close attention to hygiene in your private area, and change your underwear daily.
