Patient's question:
Patient is a 22-year-old female with a history of one IUD insertion. She has a daughter and underwent a cesarean section. Due to non-compliance with the IUD, it was removed. She initially experienced pain during intercourse with no other symptoms. Her menstrual period started on the 9th and has not ended by the 19th. She has abnormal vaginal discharge with blood, and every time she engages in sexual activity, she experiences bleeding. A thorough examination revealed cervical erosion of degree 3.Doctor's answer:
The main symptoms of cervical erosion include increased and viscous leukorrhea, occasional recurrence of purulent or bloody leukorrhea, lower abdominal pain, and dyspareunia. The risk of recurrence and carcinogenesis is high. If cervical erosion is at degree 3, it is best to undergo LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure) full repair and maintenance surgery or high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) minimally invasive treatment. There are several treatment methods for cervical erosion, but as the patient's condition varies, the chosen treatment method also differs. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon noticing symptoms.
