Patient's question:
Medical Description: The patient is a 27-year-old female who has not given birth. She has excessive white discharge, sometimes resembling mucus, with an odor. Occasionally, there is bleeding during intercourse, but she does not experience abdominal pain or itching.History of Treatment and Effect: She is currently undergoing medication.
Desired Help: She has had a cervical smear test at the hospital, which showed cervical erosion of degree II. The doctor recommended electrocautery treatment. Since she plans to become pregnant in the near future, she is concerned about whether electrocautery treatment will affect her ability to have children. When would be the best time to undergo treatment? Is it okay to delay treatment for three or four years?
Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello! Based on the information you provided, it appears that your symptoms of "excessive leukorrhea, mucus-like in consistency, with a bad odor" are likely caused by acute vaginitis. The occasional bleeding during intercourse is somewhat related to cervicitis.Recommendations: Therefore, you currently need to treat the vaginitis. Under normal circumstances, leukorrhea should not have an odor, even with cervical erosion. So, you should address this issue first. You have cervical erosion of degree II, with bleeding during intercourse. I don’t know if you’ve had a Pap smear yet—what were the results? I recommend a TCT test to confirm the diagnosis.
Since you haven’t given birth yet, you can temporarily avoid physical therapy for cervical erosion, as it may affect your ability to conceive. This condition is chronic and doesn’t need to be rushed. You should first treat the vaginitis, then consider having a child, and treat the cervical erosion after giving birth.
