Patient's question:
I have always had a very regular menstrual cycle, and the amount of blood flow has been the same, lasting only four days. But recently, the amount of blood flow has increased, and it takes a whole week to pass. Besides, there has been a lot of leukorrhea lately, and I never paid much attention to it. However, it has been getting more and more, and it is very sticky. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was mild cervical erosion.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Cervical erosion is the most common pathological change of chronic cervical inflammation, often occurring after miscarriage or surgical damage to the cervix, leading to the entry of pathogens and subsequent infection. Cervical erosion can cause complications and lead to deeper inflammation. If the inflammation in the cervix is not treated promptly, it may trigger inflammation in other organs, such as endometritis, vaginitis, and chronic pelvic inflammation. The long-term effects of chronic inflammation can also result in conditions like cervical polyps, eversion, cervical hypertrophy, and cervical cysts. Therefore, if cervical erosion is detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to avoid missing the optimal treatment window.
