Patient's question:
I want to know how cervical erosion is caused. When I had a thorough examination before, I was diagnosed with cervical erosion and received treatment once. When I came back for a follow-up examination, it had healed. However, after more than a year, another examination showed cervical erosion again. How can it be cured? Does cervical erosion lead to cancer? How long does it take for cervical erosion to turn into cancer?Doctor's answer:
The cause of cervical erosion may be due to relatively low immunity in the body, leading to physiological cervical lesions. If cervical erosion is severe, it may also be caused by infection with pathogenic bacteria. If not treated promptly, it may lead to the recurrence of cervical cancer. In such cases, it is recommended to visit a gynecological department in the hospital for a thorough examination. Tests such as cervical scraping or pathological biopsy can be performed.
