Patient's question:
I got divorced from my husband a year ago. Recently, I've noticed an increase in leukorrhea with a bad odor, and during a health check-up at the hospital, I was found to have cervical erosion of degree 2. During recent sexual activity, I've noticed skin peeling, which is very bothering me. I don't know what to do?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease, essentially a manifestation of chronic cervicitis, characterized by bright red or pink spots around the cervix. Chronic cervicitis often occurs in unmarried women, but it can also affect married women without a history of sexual activity. Recent clinical diagnosis summaries indicate that the incidence rate of cervical erosion among young women aged 17 to 23 has reached as high as 90%. During physical treatments such as laser, microwave, or BOM light therapy for cervical erosion, if the doctor lacks sufficient experience, the treatment area is too shallow or limited, it may fail to completely destroy the inflammatory lesions, leading to residual pathological lesions and recurrence. Additionally, some patients cannot tolerate the treatment.
