Patient's question:
After having sex with my boyfriend, I had dark brown vaginal bleeding the next day. The amount was not much, and there was some itching in the private area. It's still 5 days before my period. I previously had an endoscopic examination, and the doctor said there was a bit of cervical erosion. Should I still get a detailed examination? What tests should I have?Doctor's answer:
Cervical erosion is commonly caused by repeated stimulation from chronic cervical inflammation, leading to the shedding of squamous epithelium and the proliferation and repair of columnar epithelium. However, it may be accompanied by other infections.It is recommended that for severe cervical erosion, medication is generally ineffective, and physical therapy is required. However, this may affect future fertility. It is not necessarily required to undergo surgery now. You should first undergo a colposcopic biopsy and wait to see the results.
