Does the exfoliated material from cervical erosion need to be removed?

Patient's question:

After taking medication for cervical erosion, there are white discharge resembling raw material bandages stuck in the vagina. The outer part can be washed off, but the inside cannot be washed away, and it's very messy to place the medication. Do these discharge materials need to be removed?

Doctor's answer:

This generally does not need to be removed; it will naturally fall off on its own, so there's no need to worry too much. However, in your case, you should pay attention: cervical erosion only requires a cervical cytology test and an HPV test. If the results are both normal, there is absolutely no need for treatment. Many hospitals are treating it inappropriately.
