Patient's question:
Female, 49 years old, discovered mild cervical erosion during a physical examination.Doctor's answer:
The causes of cervical erosion include mechanical irritation or injury, such as sexual activity, miscarriage, and lacerations during childbirth, as well as bacterial invasion leading to cervical inflammation. Pathogens causing cervical inflammation are commonly general pyogenic bacteria like Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, viruses, Actinomyces, Trichomonas, and Amoeba. The occurrence of cervical erosion not only affects a woman's physical health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
