Patient's question:
Vaginitis has improved, and the white discharge test is normal. Why did the doctor ask me to do a cervical cancer screening? I have cervical erosion. Is the itching still related to cervical erosion now? I don't have enough money to do it now. Can I buy some medication to treat cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
If there is cervical erosion, it is necessary to consider human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, as HPV infection is the main cause of cervical cancer. Therefore, the doctor has recommended screening. If the current conditions do not permit, you can initially postpone the examination. Since the vaginitis has already been treated and the examination results are normal, it is advisable to pay attention to personal hygiene first. Prolonged vaginitis can also lead to cervical erosion. For a short period of time, avoid medication and wait for a few more observations. For severe vaginitis patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome.
