Hello, cervical erosion refers to the displacement of the squamous epithelium on the external os of the cervix and the columnar epithelium on the internal cervical surface at their junction. It commonly manifests as cervical enlargement, increased vaginal discharge, foul odor, and pruritus vulvae. If accompanied by cervicitis, prompt pharmacological treatment is recommended. For patients with chronic inflammation, laser therapy may be considered. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
