Patient's question:
I don't have a boyfriend and I'm also not married. However, I noticed some yellow-green discharge in my underwear for a while, which smelled and was very pungent, so I went to the hospital for a routine vaginal discharge test and a transvaginal ultrasound. The results showed that I had cervical erosion. I am usually very particular about personal hygiene, taking baths and changing underwear daily.Hello, how does cervical erosion occur? What treatment can completely prevent it from recurring?
Doctor's answer:
From the situation you described, the reappearance of yellow-green discharge in your underwear with a foul odor suggests a high likelihood of vaginitis. In this case, it's important to first undergo a vaginal discharge test and then follow the doctor's advice for medication. Cervical erosion does not necessarily mean true erosion; it could be a regression of cervical columnar epithelium, which is related to hormonal levels in the body. After treating vaginitis, you should have a cervical cytology examination. If the results are normal, no further treatment is needed.
