Patient's question:
Since the divorce in May, I have maintained a normal sex life and paid close attention to hygiene. However, due to inadequate safety measures, I became pregnant. Since we were young at the time, we didn't want a child, so I had an abortion. After that, I developed cervical inflammation, which led to cervical erosion. Today, I suddenly noticed bleeding, but it's not my period.Doctor's answer:
Increased leukorrhea, yellow and viscous in texture, or leukorrhea mixed with blood streaks, with a very small number of patients experiencing contact bleeding, are the main symptoms of cervical erosion. Among them, patients with severe cervical erosion often accompany symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. Long-term stimulation of the external genitalia by inflammatory secretions can also lead to pruritus vulvae. Additionally, since the cervical lymphatic vessels are directly connected to the parametrium, inflammation can spread repeatedly to the pelvic cavity through the lymphatic circulation, resulting in pelvic connective tissue inflammation and symptoms such as lower back and sacral pain, as well as lower abdominal fullness and distension. Furthermore, cervical viscous purulent secretions facilitate sperm passage, which can lead to infertility. Generally, when cervical erosion bleeds, it occurs again after sexual intercourse, indicating that the patient's condition has already progressed to severe cervical erosion, or it could be cervical cancer or cervical polyps.
