Patient's question:
In 2008, a thorough examination revealed the treatment for cervical erosion. Two days ago, the examination showed cervical retention cysts. Hello, is it more severe than before? During this period, the doctor also treated me, all with medication. I would like to know how to treat this condition and how long it will take to be cured.Doctor's answer:
The degree of impact on the cervix varies due to inflammation. In simple erosion, the columnar epithelium in the cervical mucosa grows slowly, and the epithelium appears flat with a smooth surface. When the columnar epithelium grows rapidly and forms glandular fibrosis, it is classified as glandular erosion. If the glands extend, it can become follicular erosion. Concurrently, if there is interstitial fibrosis, small protrusions may form, exposing uneven columnar epithelium, which constitutes papillary erosion.The causes include mechanical effects or injuries such as sexual activity, miscarriage, childbirth lacerations, and bacterial proliferation leading to cervical inflammation. The common pathogens causing the proliferation are inflammatory bacteria.
