Patient's question:
I am 55 years old and have been postmenopausal for 4 years, with almost no sexual activity. I have no vaginal discharge. Due to frequent urinary tract infections, the urologist recommended checking with a gynecologist. The gynecologist found cervical erosion. The gynecologist ordered 10+ tests. We have not yet started treatment. At this point, a friend told me that cervical erosion does not occur after menopause at all. It's just doctors making up excuses to make money. I'm scared. What should I do? Because I don't usually bleed, but during the gynecologist's examination, a lot of blood was drawn. I don't dare to see a doctor anymore. Ask a kind expert what I should do. Most of the test results are negative. The biopsy result shows chronic inflammation of the cervical squamous epithelial mucosa. The vaginal cytology result is atrophic.Doctor's answer:
Hello, in the case you mentioned, it is very likely caused by cervical erosion. It could also be abnormal uterine bleeding. I suggest you definitely go to the hospital for a transvaginal ultrasound to get a clear diagnosis. After that, I recommend you choose the best treatment method. Since you are already postmenopausal, you must go to the hospital for a check-up. Other adverse conditions cannot be ruled out either.
