Patient's question:
Recently, I experienced bleeding after two intimate encounters with my boyfriend. I thought it was my period, but it stopped the next day. I searched online and found it might be cervical erosion. I don't know what tests I should have at the hospital.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the examination for cervical erosion includes:1. Gynecological routine examination: This includes checking the external genitalia, vagina, cervix, as well as the size, shape, position of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.
2. Routine examination of vaginal discharge: This includes checking for fungi, trichomonas, vaginal cleanliness, and bacterial vaginosis.
3. Colposcopy
4. Cervical scraping examination: Cervical scraping is currently the simplest and most effective diagnostic method for widespread screening of cervical cancer. TCT (cervical cancer screening) is a more precise method than cervical scraping for cancer prevention screening. Mild cases can be treated with medication, but severe cervical erosion patients may not be completely cured with medication alone. Surgical treatment is the most effective approach.
