Doctor's answer:
Hello, when a patient has mild cervical erosion, they generally do not have obvious subjective symptoms, or may only have a slight increase in leukorrhea, which is often easily overlooked. Many patients' cervical erosion is discovered during routine examinations or when they visit a gynecologist for other gynecological conditions. The most obvious symptoms of moderate and severe cervical erosion are an increased amount of leukorrhea, which is yellow, viscous, or mixed with blood streaks. In some cases, postcoital bleeding may occur. Long-term stimulation of the external genitalia by inflammatory leukorrhea can also cause pruritus ani. Additionally, since the cervical lymphatic vessels directly communicate with the parametrium, inflammation can spread to the pelvic cavity through the lymphatic system, leading to parametritis and symptoms such as lower back and sacral pain, as well as a sense of fullness in the lower abdomen. In a few cases, infertility may also be caused by cervical erosion.
