Can I still have sex if I have cervical erosion? What are the key points of nursing for cervical erosion?

Miss Jin has always been healthy. After getting married, she gradually felt uncomfortable. First, her always clear leucorrhea became turbid and had an unpleasant smell. She had to cover it up with perfume every day, and then when she was "intimate" with her husband, she felt an uncomfortable swelling in her waist and lower abdomen. She had a premonition that something was wrong, so she walked into the gynecology department of the hospital with the problem. After the gynecologist's examination, she wrote several words that shocked her on the diagnosis book: cervical erosion, moderate erosion, completion, and cervical rot. She can't be intimate with her husband in the future, and having a child may be just a dream... Is this true?

First, let's answer Ms. Jin's first question: Can I still be intimate with my husband if I have cervical erosion? The essence of cervical erosion is that in the early stage of acute cervical inflammation, the cervix becomes red, swollen, congested, and has a smooth surface. It is easy to bleed when stimulated, and the lesion deteriorates into cervical erosion. Erosion is divided into three degrees: mild, moderate, and severe.

Can you have sex? It should be determined by the disease, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Generally speaking, sexual intercourse should be prohibited during the acute inflammation period to prevent the condition from worsening. Sexual intercourse is allowed in the early stages of chronic inflammation, but not too frequently. If it is in the moderate or severe erosion stage, sexual life should be stopped and actively treated, and the couple's life should be resumed after the disease is controlled or improved. Once you suspect cancer, you should absolutely abstain from sex, because being in the same room can easily cause bleeding. Of course, these situations can only be correctly grasped under the doctor's examination, so when you have questions, it is best to consult a doctor. After introducing cervical erosion, let's take a look at cervical erosion.
