Patient's question:
I have some skin peeling below, it must not be my period because my period hasn't arrived yet. Besides, my period would never be this light. Last month, I had a thorough examination at the hospital and was diagnosed with cervical erosion. I think it's the cervical erosion that is causing the skin to peel. What is the reason for the bleeding from cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
The reason for cervical erosion and peeling is that cervical erosion is stimulated by inflammation, leading to the shedding of exposed epithelial cells on the surface of the cervix. Meanwhile, the columnar epithelial cells below are weak and replace the shedded exposed epithelium. Due to the exposure of capillaries in the columnar epithelium, the inflamed area appears bright red, hence the term "cervical erosion." However, it is not true erosion. Additionally, pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, avoid cold foods, and hope that cervical erosion patients can recover quickly!
