Does bacterial vaginosis cause cervical erosion?

Patient's question:

This month, my leukorrhea has increased significantly, and it has a bad odor. I also have pain when urinating. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said it was bacterial vaginosis. I searched online and it seems to be very similar to cervical erosion. I want to ask if bacterial vaginosis can lead to cervical erosion?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you described: Bacterial vaginosis can lead to cervical erosion because the vagina and cervix are connected and adjacent. Therefore, if there is long-term bacterial vaginosis, it can damage the cervix and cause infection. Additionally, if the cervix is injured, it is very easy for bacteria to invade. So, if vaginitis is detected, it is necessary to receive timely treatment.
