Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 26 years old, in good healthI had my first check-up, and the report said: "Abundant yellow, viscous discharge was observed in the vagina. There was a red erosive surface on the cervix, and contact bleeding was noted in the endocervix. After applying acetic acid, the columnar epithelium swelled and turned white. The squamocolumnar junction was clear. After applying Lugol's solution, the erosive surface did not stain."
Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is usually a pathological manifestation of chronic cervical inflammation. Based on the extent of the lesion, it is classified into mild, moderate, and severe degrees. Mild cervical erosion can be cured by paying attention to external genital hygiene, cleaning the vagina, applying medication to the vagina, and taking anti-inflammatory drugs if necessary. During treatment, sexual intercourse is prohibited. Moderate to severe cervical erosion should primarily be treated with physical therapy. Common treatment methods include cryotherapy, laser therapy, and LEEP (Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure), among others. It is recommended to seek diagnosis and treatment at a local regular hospital. During treatment, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from sexual intercourse.
