Patient's question:
I have a friend who is 33 years old this year. I don't know what's going on, but she has been feeling unwell recently. I took her to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor recommended a vaginal discharge test. I want to ask the doctor, can a routine gynecological vaginal discharge test detect cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
The routine gynecological examination of white discharge can only detect whether there is vaginitis. This cannot confirm the presence of cervical erosion. If you want to check for cervical erosion, you can undergo a gynecological examination using a speculum to quickly open the vagina. Careful observation with the eyes is sufficient. If there is cervical erosion, it is generally accompanied by irregular vaginal bleeding after sexual intercourse, along with a sense of pain. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
