Patient's question:
I had cervical erosion of degree II and vaginitis 20 years ago. I was treated with medication and topical applications. I have been postmenopausal for 3 years. During a gynecological examination last year, the doctor confirmed vaginitis, and the uterus and urethra have already started to swell. The doctor recommended using Evinine externally, but I did not use it. This year, the gynecological examination confirmed a vaginal cleanliness of degree III and cervical erosion of degree IIb. The doctor advised me to first alleviate the vaginitis before undergoing a cervical biopsy.Is my condition serious? I am postmenopausal and have entered menopause. At this age, is it necessary to have a biopsy? What is the best way to treat this? Thank you for your explanation.
Doctor's answer:
You are currently 50 years old, postmenopausal for 3 years, with atrophic vaginitis, vaginal cleanliness degree III, and cervical erosion IIb. Cervical erosion has a relationship with the recurrence of cervical cancer. Under the impact of long-term chronic inflammation, the columnar epithelium resulting from cervical canal fibrosis can recur as atypical fibrosis. If not treated in time, a small portion of it may eventually expand into cancer, although this expansion and evolution process is relatively slow. The pathological examination of cervical biopsy is the basis for diagnosing cervical cancer. It is recommended that you have a biopsy.1.
