Patient's question:
Going to the hospital to get a thorough examination for cervical erosion, the nurse took my vaginal discharge for testing. Can vaginal discharge detect cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, performing a routine examination of vaginal discharge cannot be thorough. It can be checked if there is cervical erosion. It can also be checked if there is a substantive pathogenic infection. There may be pathogenic bacteria in the vaginal discharge, which could also indicate cervical inflammation, ovarian inflammation, or endometrial inflammation. The most direct cause is vaginal inflammation. It is necessary to check with a hysteroscope and ultrasound to determine if there is cervical erosion.
