Patient's question:
The doctor's examination revealed second-degree cervical erosion, excessive leukorrhea, yellow in color, without pain or itching. She had an abortion last month and is 11 weeks and 1 month pregnant. She has undergone one TCT test with no issues.Doctor's answer:
The causes of cervical erosion include mechanical irritation such as sexual intercourse, or damage to the cervix, as well as bacterial or viral infections. Additionally, long-term inflammatory secretions stimulating the cervix, a decline in the body's immune system, and infections that occur during postpartum or menstrual periods due to poor hygiene can all lead to cervical erosion. If personal hygiene during sexual activity is neglected or sexual activity is too frequent, it can impair the vagina's self-cleaning function, making it easier for pathogens to invade and cause cervical inflammation, which in turn triggers cervical erosion.
