Patient's question:
Recently, my little best friend went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and was diagnosed with cervical erosion. I was quite surprised because I felt she lived a very refined life and should never have this condition. But she did, so I also felt very anxious and wanted to ask her what are the symptoms of cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion was once considered a physiological phenomenon, primarily caused by the coverage of columnar cells over squamous cells, appearing as a red, eroded-like condition. In reality, this is not true erosion, although this small area is easily susceptible to bacterial or viral infections and may potentially progress to cervical erosion of degree II or III. The main symptoms include increased vaginal discharge, odor, and contact-related skin irritation.
