Patient's question:
I recently have had itching in my external genital area and don't know why. Is it related to cervical erosion? Does cervical erosion cause itching in the external genital area?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal itching and simple cervical erosion are unrelated. However, cervical erosion is often accompanied by cervical inflammation and other gynecological infections, which can lead to vaginal itching in such cases. Therefore, it is recommended to check the condition of the cervix, conduct a routine vaginal discharge test, and if necessary, undergo a cervical cytology (TCT) and HPV test. After diagnosing the inflammation, active anti-inflammatory treatment should be initiated. Vaginal hygiene can be maintained by rinsing with warm water, and spicy or irritating foods should be avoided.
