Is cervical erosion a very serious gynecological disease?

Patient's question:

Gender: Female
Age: 21
Medical History: Unclear, just yellow discharge with a bad odor

Doctor's answer:

Hello, cervical erosion is caused by long-term chronic inflammation stimulation, and the columnar epithelium in the cervical canal can develop atypical hyperplasia. If not treated in time, a portion of these patients may eventually develop into cancer. However, since this transformation process is relatively slow, there is time to actively treat it. Mild erosion can be treated with medication, but in severe cases, simple medication is not ideal and may lead to repeated recurrence or incomplete treatment. It is recommended to combine physical therapy and surgical treatment. It is advised to seek targeted treatment at a regular hospital as early as possible. Wishing you good health.
