Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Yesterday, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The results were: Chlamydia and Gonorrhea were negative, Candida was ++, Trichomonas was ++, Mixed Bacteria was +, Leukocytes were ++, and Clue Cells were ++.Consultation purpose: The doctor said during the vaginal examination that I have deep cervical erosion. I'm now wondering if the doctor is just scaring me because I don't have any discomforting symptoms or bleeding. Can cervical erosion be visible to the naked eye? If it's confirmed to be erosion, what tests should be done?
Duration of the illness: Three to four months
Current general condition: Excessive vaginal discharge with a bad odor
Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion was once a disease that troubled many women. During physical examinations, almost nine out of ten women were diagnosed with cervical erosion. In reality, cervical erosion is actually a misinterpretation of the normal appearance of the cervix in the past.Cervical columnar epithelial ectopia does not require any treatment. Most of the current methods for treating cervical erosion are incorrect. However, for symptomatic cervical inflammation, treatment is necessary. Acute inflammation can be treated with ( is a Chinese term for suppositories) medication, while chronic inflammation can be treated with physical methods such as laser or cryotherapy. Regular cervical examinations are very important, not to prevent cervical erosion, but to prevent cervical cancer.
