Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease, with causes including mechanical irritation or injury such as sexual activity, miscarriage, and delivery lacerations, as well as bacterial invasion leading to cervical inflammation. In mild cervical erosion, patients generally have no obvious symptoms. They may only experience a slight increase in leukorrhea, which is often easily overlooked. Many patients with cervical erosion are diagnosed during routine check-ups or when seeking treatment for other gynecological conditions.Moderate to severe cervical erosion patients most commonly exhibit symptoms such as increased leukorrhea that is yellow, viscous, or mixed with blood streaks. In some cases, post-coital bleeding may occur. Long-term irritation of the external genitalia by inflammatory leukorrhea can also lead to vulvar pruritus. Additionally, since the cervical lymphatic vessels directly communicate with the parametrial connective tissue, inflammation can spread to the pelvic cavity through the lymphatic system, causing parametritis and symptoms such as lower back and sacral pain, as well as lower abdominal distension. In some cases, infertility may also be attributed to cervical erosion.
For moderate to severe cervical erosion, physical therapy is generally the preferred treatment, such as laser, microwave, BOM light, red light, LEEP, etc. It is recommended that you visit a hospital and consult with a doctor to choose a treatment method suitable for you. After surgery, sexual activity, tub baths, and personal hygiene should be avoided. Rest, proper nutrition, and attention to cleanliness are also important. During the healing period of the wound (4–8 weeks), tub baths, sexual activity, and vaginal irrigation should be prohibited. Regular follow-up visits are recommended after the procedure.
