Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been feeling a heavy and distended lower abdomen lately, with severe abdominal pain, and there are also some purulent secretions in my underwear. I'm very worried, so I told my symptoms to a nurse friend of mine. She said this might be cervical erosion, but she's not too sure. I want to know what symptoms cervical erosion can cause?Doctor's answer:
Hello, mild cervical erosion is often asymptomatic, while moderate to severe cases may cause lower back pain, lower abdominal fullness, discomfort, and during intercourse, there may be contact bleeding or pain. A colposcopy examination can usually diagnose this condition. Your symptoms may also be caused by pelvic inflammatory disease, which can lead to systemic feverish symptoms in severe cases. It is recommended that you undergo an ultrasound examination of the uterine appendages and a complete blood count to clarify the diagnosis.
