Patient's question:
Hello, doctor, I would like to ask: I have mild cervical erosion, but recently I have had an unexpected pregnancy. Can I have an abortion at the hospital? Can I have an abortion if I have cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, cervical erosion is a common gynecological disease. The causes include mechanical irritation or injury, such as sexual intercourse, miscarriage, and birth 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 examinations or when seeking treatment for other gynecological conditions.Moderate to severe cervical erosion patients often have the most prominent symptom of increased leukorrhea, which 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 cause pruritus ani. Additionally, since the cervical lymphatic vessels directly communicate with the parametrium, inflammation can spread to the pelvic cavity through the lymphatic system, leading to parametritis and symptoms such as lower back and sacral pain, as well as lower abdominal distension. In some cases, infertility may also be caused by cervical erosion.
For moderate to severe cervical erosion, physical therapy is generally the preferred treatment, including laser, microwave, BOM light, red light, and LEEP. It is recommended that you visit a hospital and consult a doctor to choose the most suitable treatment for you. After surgery, sexual intercourse, tub baths, and personal hygiene should be avoided. Rest, nutrition, and attention to cleanliness should be strengthened. During the healing period of the wound (4–8 weeks), tub baths, sexual intercourse, and vaginal irrigation should be prohibited. Regular follow-up is required after surgery.
