Patient's question:
I have an aunt who has been divorced from her husband for many years and has never had a baby. Recently, my aunt felt itchy in her vagina and was very uncomfortable. After that, they went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor told them that my aunt had cervical erosion.Doctor's answer:
It is not advisable to have sexual intercourse when suffering from cervical erosion, and pregnancy should only be considered after the condition is fully cured. Regardless of the severity of cervical erosion in women, it is essential to maintain good hygiene. Both partners should clean their external genitalia before sexual activity, and the male should pay special attention to thoroughly removing smegma from the foreskin. It is now believed that cholesterol in smegma, under the action of bacteria, can transform into tumor-causing substances. Under normal circumstances, during sexual activity, the penis comes into direct contact with the cervix. If sexual hygiene is not maintained, bacteria can be directly introduced into the vagina, leading to cervical infection. For women who already have cervical erosion, this can exacerbate the cervical inflammation and potentially lead to the expansion of the erosion.
