Patient's question:
I have a 5-year-old son. Since giving birth to my son, I have frequently suffered from gynecological problems. The possibility is that I didn't recover well after the postpartum period. Later, after a thorough examination, it was discovered that I had cervical erosion, and I took medication for it. Then, I didn't go for a follow-up examination. Recently, there has been blood in my vagina, and it's not my menstrual period.Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is the most common local feature of chronic cervical inflammation. During the inflammatory period, the cervix secretes a significant amount of discharge, which washes away the epithelium around the external os of the cervix, causing it to lose vitality and form ulcers. This results in the clinical diagnosis of the often observed appearance of the mucosa around the external os of the cervix as a granular and glossy bright red area—cervical erosion.Inflammation of cervical polyps is a factor in their formation. Polyps originating from the mucous membrane of the cervical canal are soft, bright red, and fragile, bleeding easily with light touch. Very small polyps may show no symptoms and are often discovered during gynecological examinations for other conditions. Larger polyps can cause increased leukorrhea, bloody leukorrhea, or contact bleeding.
