Patient's question:
Had sexual activity for 7 years, never married or had children, even suspected of infertility. In July of this year, I had my first gynecological examination, which was done at a small hospital. The examination items included: routine vaginal discharge test, cervical scraping cytology, electronic colposcopy for cancer prevention, and transvaginal ultrasound. After the examination, the doctor said there was severe cervical erosion.Doctor's answer:
Regular cervical examinations are very necessary, not to prevent cervical erosion, but to prevent cervical cancer. The occurrence of cervical cancer is related to the infection of human papillomavirus (HPV). Some high-risk HPV infection patients, when continuously infected at the squamocolumnar junction of the cervix, are prone to precancerous lesions and cervical cancer. The appearance of cervical erosion not only affects women's health but also leads to the occurrence of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal examination in the gynecology department of the hospital, identify the cause, and then treat accordingly. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, eat light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
