Why do patients with cervical erosion have abdominal pain

Patient's question:

Three weeks ago, I had a minimally invasive surgery and had a three-day discharge of thick yellow fluid. Three days later, I had my period, and my lower abdomen and waist hurt a lot, I had a fever, and then had another three days of yellow fluid discharge. I got a fever-reducing shot.

Doctor's answer:

Cervical erosion is the shedding of the epithelial cells at the external os of the cervix, which are then replaced by another type of epithelial tissue. Due to the thinness of the newly formed epithelial layer, it can even be very delicate. The underlying blood vessels and red tissue can be seen, giving the appearance of 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.
