Doctor: Hello. Could you please tell me if cervical erosion is the same as all the vulva being white?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, most chronic cervical inflammation with cervical erosion is often accompanied by bacterial, viral, or chlamydial infections. Therefore, infections should be treated first. After scraping and culture, specific pathogens should be identified, and antimicrobial drugs should be applied accordingly. Once the infection is cured, cervical erosion can be treated.
There are many treatment methods for cervical erosion, including drug therapy, physical therapy (laser, cryotherapy, electrocautery, microwave, etc.), and surgical methods. The first two methods primarily aim to destroy the columnar epithelium on the eroded surface, allowing it to necrose and fall off, creating conditions for the regeneration of squamous epithelium to cover the surface. Surgical treatment is currently used less frequently.
Drug Therapy: Suitable for patients with smaller erosion areas and superficial inflammatory infiltration. Local application of agents such as Aegle is used.
Physical Therapy: The most commonly used clinical treatment method. Options include laser, cryotherapy, microwave, etc. After one to two treatments, improvement is usually observed. It is suitable for patients with larger erosion areas and deeper inflammatory infiltration.
