Clinical Manifestations of Cervical Erosion Cervical erosion is the most common local characteristic in the process of chronic uterine inflammation lesions. Due to the infiltration of inflammatory secretions, the squamous epithelium of the cervix falls off and is replaced by the columnar epithelium of the cervical canal, which is manifested as cervical erosion. Clinically, cervical erosion is divided into grades I, II, and III according to the size of the area affected by cervical erosion. The main symptoms include: Increased vaginal discharge: Increased vaginal discharge is the main symptom of this condition. Typically, the discharge is milky white or light yellow purulent secretion, sometimes it may be bloody or mixed with blood threads. Itching and pain of the vulva: Due to increased discharge, the vulva and vagina can develop secondary external genitalia inflammation or vaginitis, leading to itching and pain in the vulva and vagina. Lower abdominal and sacral pain: When the inflammation is severe, it can spread along the uterosacral ligaments and main ligaments, causing pelvic connective tissue inflammation, leading to lower abdominal or sacral pain accompanied by a feeling of heaviness. Urinary frequency or difficulty in urination: When the inflammation affects the bladder trigone or surrounding bladder areas, urinary frequency or difficulty in urination may occur. Infertility: Thick vaginal discharge is not conducive to sperm penetration, so severe cervical inflammation can lead to infertility. Diagnosis of Cervical Erosion Based on clinical manifestations, diagnosis is not difficult, but it should be noted that it is difficult to distinguish between cervical erosion and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia or early cervical cancer from appearance alone. Therefore, routine cervical smears and endocervical sampling are recommended. If necessary, colposcopy and biopsy should be performed for definitive diagnosis. The LEEP knife minimally invasive technique, with its unique advantages and numerous clinical cure data, has become the preferred treatment method for patients with severe cervical erosion. Dongwu Hospital in Suzhou keeps up with the forefront of medicine and was one of the first hospitals in Suzhou to introduce this technology. To date, it has successfully treated tens of thousands of patients with chronic and recurrent moderate to severe cervical erosion, receiving praise from both patients and industry experts.
