Patient's question:
My sister and her husband are planning to have a child, but recently they have noticed that their leukorrhea has significantly increased, becoming thick and viscous, along with a bad odor. They also have some itching in the vulva. They are very worried about getting an infection that might affect pregnancy. After a thorough examination, the doctor said she had cervical erosion.Doctor's answer:
Hello; You can get pregnant and can wait until after labor to treat cervical erosion. Pay attention to personal hygiene and change underwear and pants frequently. Cervical erosion is the most common disease among women. It is more common in unmarried and physically weak women. The cause is mostly due to injury to the cervix during sexual activity or childbirth, allowing bacteria to enter and cause illness. It can also be triggered by bacterial infection during the menstrual period due to a weak constitution. The most common cause of cervical erosion is chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation may form an intrinsic basis for recurrent carcinogenesis, facilitating the invasion of carcinogenic factors and leading to cervical epithelial cell metaplasia and recurrent cervical cancer.
