Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 35 years old this year, and my health has always been good. However, recently I noticed that my menstruation has become irregular, with heavy bleeding and increased leukorrhea. Besides that, especially in the summer, I feel embarrassed to go near people. Sometimes, besides the bleeding, I feel very uncomfortable. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, they said it was cervical erosion.Doctor's answer:
The main symptom of cervical erosion is contact bleeding after sexual intercourse. When suffering from cervical erosion, the cervical mucus becomes viscous and contains a large number of white blood cells, which is unfavorable for sperm movement and penetration, potentially affecting childbirth. Under long-term chronic inflammation, the cylindrical epithelium derived from cervical canal fibrosis may undergo atypical fibrosis. If not treated in time, a small portion of patients may eventually develop into cancer. However, since this expansion and transformation process is relatively slow, there is time to actively treat it. It is recommended that you seek systematic treatment at a hospital. Currently, the LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) is very effective for treating cervical erosion. Faced with the impact of cervical erosion, we should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment and not avoid seeking medical attention. If cervical erosion does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly switch to a new treatment plan.
