Patient's question:
A good friend of mine called me yesterday and said she had been diagnosed with first-degree cervical erosion. I'm not very familiar with this condition, but I know that it's difficult to cure if women get this disease. She said that no matter what illness one has, it's crucial to see a doctor in a timely manner, or it will become hard to treat if delayed. She reminded me to take good care of myself.Doctor's answer:
Hello, when the area of erosion is less than one-third of the entire cervical area, it is considered mild cervical erosion. Since the symptoms of mild cervical erosion are not very obvious, it is often overlooked by women. The symptoms of degree I cervical erosion can be completely absent, as the erosion surface is relatively small and the degree of infiltration is shallow, making it generally difficult to detect symptoms. If cervical erosion does appear with symptoms, it often manifests as increased leukorrhea with a yellow color, or creamy white or light yellow, with a viscous texture, or purulent or watery. The most prominent external symptom is pruritus of the external genitalia accompanied by an odor, whereas normal leukorrhea should be colorless and odorless, with a consistency like egg white.
