Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's going on, but when I have sexual intercourse with my husband, it feels very painful, and sometimes it even tears the skin. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it's cervical erosion. What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion, even cervical malignant transformation, is most typical in causing contact bleeding during sexual activity. In the early stages of cervical erosion, symptoms are not obvious, often only manifesting as increased vaginal discharge. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity, symptoms such as lower back pain, pelvic heaviness, and dysmenorrhea may occur. Later on, symptoms like pain during sexual activity or even skin breakdown may reappear. Therefore, for Xiao Li's pain and skin breakdown during intercourse, it is important to pay attention, as it indicates a relatively severe case of cervical erosion. It is best to seek timely medical examination and treatment at a formal hospital. Patients with cervical erosion can, while understanding the need for symptomatic treatment, also use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment in daily life.
