Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for over three months, but recently I've been feeling a lot of pain. Later, when I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, the doctor said it was cervical erosion. Will cervical erosion be very serious during pregnancy? Will it affect the fetus? If medication is used, will it have side effects?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is a common disease among women of childbearing age. More than half of women who return to the gynecology department for follow-up visits have this condition. The main cause is cervical laceration of varying degrees after gynecological surgeries such as childbirth, miscarriage, induced abortion, or dilation and curettage, which reduces the local awareness and early diagnosis of cervical lesions, thereby enabling proactive treatment. There are several treatment methods for cervical erosion, but since the condition varies among patients, the chosen treatment method differs accordingly. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to receive a prompt diagnosis to ensure targeted treatment.
