A Pap smear can detect cervical erosion?

Patient's question:

During this time, I have always felt discomfort in my lower abdomen. Sometimes it itches, and at other times, besides the pain, so I think it might be cervical erosion. I want to do a cervical smear, but I don't know if a cervical smear can detect cervical erosion?

Doctor's answer:

Going to the hospital for a cervical smear test cannot accurately determine whether cervical erosion is present, as cervical erosion can only be diagnosed through visual examination. A cervical smear test can only detect whether a woman has cervical cancer. This is likely caused by gynecological inflammation and requires a clear examination at the hospital. During this time, pay attention to hygiene.
