Patient's question:
Patient, female, 27 years old, married and nulliparous. On January 14, 2013, during a physical examination, cervical erosion of degree III was found, simple type. The erosion around the cervix was accompanied by a significant amount of leukorrhea, while the center was smooth. On the same day, she used a Xiamei to treat the vagina and cleaned the external genitalia with Jie'eryin. She had been experiencing excessive leukorrhea, slightly yellow in color, which she had not paid attention to. The examining doctor said it was mainly caused by condoms.Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is the shedding of the epithelial cells at the external os of the cervix, which are replaced by another type of epithelial tissue. Due to the thinness of the newly formed epithelial layer, it may even be delicate. The underlying blood vessels and red tissue can be seen, making it appear as if there is significant erosion, hence the term "cervical erosion." Treating cervical erosion is relatively difficult, and it has a high risk of malignancy. It is recommended to undergo microwave therapy, which can be somewhat effective.
