Patient's question:
Increased leukorrhea, but no other symptoms, no pain or itching. Test report shows cervical erosion.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is not contagious. Cervical erosion is one form of chronic cervicitis, and cervical erosion is not what we usually understand as erosion. When the outer surface of the cervix falls off and is replaced by another type of epithelial tissue at the cervix opening, the newly formed epithelial covering is very thin, and even the underlying blood vessels and red tissue can be seen, making it look like true erosion, hence the term "cervical erosion." In reality, it is not true erosion. Cervical erosion can be treated with medication or physical methods. Medication can include local application of Aprobol (preferably done by a doctor) or self-administration of vaginal suppositories. Medication treatment is mainly suitable for non-pregnant patients with mild to moderate cervical erosion, but the treatment course is generally long and costly. Physical treatment options include laser, cryotherapy, and microwave therapy, with laser treatment being the most commonly chosen. Typically, improvement is seen after one to two treatments.
