Patient's question:
Doctor, I am really dying of sadness right now because there is bleeding from below. I don't know what's going on, but it's definitely not my period. My period is much heavier than this, and besides, it's not even time for it yet. Last month, because I felt uncomfortable between my legs, I had a thorough examination at the hospital. The results showed that I have cervical erosion, and I am currently being treated for it.Doctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis, the cervical erosion observed does not actually possess true erosion. When the epidermis of the external cervical os is shed and replaced by cervical columnar epithelial tissue, due to the thinness of the newly formed epithelial covering, the underlying blood vessels and red tissue can even be seen, appearing as true erosion. This is why it is referred to as cervical erosion. The recurrence of cervical erosion is usually caused by factors such as childbirth, miscarriage, postpartum infection, surgical procedures, or mechanical irritation (such as damage to the cervix during sexual activity), leading to the entry of pathogens and subsequent infection.
