Patient's question:
What are the clinical manifestations of cervical erosion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the term "cervical erosion" is no longer used in modern medicine. This concept emerged from a previous incomplete understanding of cervical squamous epithelium by medicine. In reality, it is more accurately described as cervical columnar epithelial metaplasia, which is primarily a physiological process rather than a pathological one. Most people do not experience symptoms, although some may have contact bleeding. However, if accompanied by increased vaginal discharge, yellow discoloration, odor, or conditions such as cervical cysts or hypertrophy, it may indicate the possibility of cervical inflammation. It is important to seek medical attention promptly at a formal hospital's gynecology department for standardized diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of a doctor to avoid delaying the condition. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
