Patient's question:
I am 19 years old and recently had a thorough examination at the hospital, including a routine leukorrhea test and colposcopy. The examination revealed vaginal inflammation and mild cervical erosion. The doctor prescribed medication for the vaginal inflammation, while for the cervical erosion, the doctor said it was nothing to worry about and suggested treating it after I give birth. I would like to ask the doctors if leaving the mild cervical erosion untreated will worsen over time, or if there are any precautions I should take in daily life that would be sufficient. I hope the doctors can provide some clarification. Below is the description of my examination results.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to clarify this for you. Sis, the current textbooks have already terminated the term "cervical erosion," and I believe this is a physiological phenomenon. In reality, it is the degree of columnar epithelial inversion affected by estrogen interference, which all falls under normal physiological phenomena. However, regular cervical examinations are very necessary. This is not to prevent cervical erosion but to prevent cervical cancer, sis. I suggest you get a cervical screening. If there are no issues, then everything is fine, no treatment is needed, and there's no need to worry.
