Patient's question:
Hello doctor, recently my friend told me she has been feeling uncomfortable downstairs. I accompanied her to various health clinics to seek medical help, but it's not very clear what the illness is. A nurse said it might be second-degree cervical erosion. Could you please tell me what are the symptoms of second-degree cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, second-degree cervical erosion refers to a condition where the eroded area of the female cervix accounts for 1/3 to 2/3 of the cervical area, which is defined as second-degree cervical erosion. Under normal circumstances, this condition can be classified into first-degree cervical erosion, second-degree cervical erosion, and third-degree cervical erosion based on the extent of erosion. The symptoms exhibited by patients at different stages of this condition vary.This condition is characterized by increased vaginal discharge, yellowish in color, viscous, and with a foul odor, which are the main symptoms of second-degree cervical erosion. However, the symptoms exhibited by different patients may differ due to variations in the pathogen, the scope and severity of the inflammation. In fact, the vaginal discharge of a healthy woman should be colorless or milky white, resembling egg white, with a slightly fishy or odorless smell.
