Doctor's answer:
Hello, in your case, it is best to undergo a vaginal examination and an ultrasound examination. The possibility of cervical erosion is relatively high, and the possibility of malignancy cannot be ruled out. It is recommended that you eat less spicy food in your daily life, quit smoking and drinking, and try to keep the external genitalia clean and dry. You can use a 5% concentration of potassium permanganate solution to clean the external genitalia, and use povidone-iodine for disinfection. It is best to check as soon as possible to determine the condition. If it is cervical erosion, it can be treated with physical therapy or topical medication. If it is close to the time of your period, and it comes earlier or later by two or three days, you can continue to monitor it to see if it is just one menstrual period.
