Patient's question:
Previously, during a gynecological examination, the doctor told me that I had mild cervical erosion. During this thorough examination, it was said to be cervical inflammation. Is cervical inflammation a symptom of cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
If you have chronic cervical inflammation, during a careful examination of the cervix, changes resembling cervical erosion may be observed. Since cervical erosion is no longer a confirmed diagnosis, it is now referred to as columnar epithelial metaplasia, which is triggered by high estrogen levels. If you experience lower abdominal pain, abnormal vaginal discharge, or bleeding during intercourse, it is likely caused by cervical inflammation. It is recommended not to have sexual intercourse during the treatment period.
