Q. I am a 54 years old female experiencing a lump at my vaginal opening. I consulted the doctor who told me that the lump I feel at my vaginal opening is the bladder and not a prolapse of the uterus. The doctor asked me to do Kegel exercises. At the same time the doctor found severe erosion of the cervix. She gave me an antibiotic and a single dose anti fungal tablet. But after having the medicines, there is no improvement in the white discharge. How can erosion of the cervix be treated?

A.  The bladder can also prolapse because of weak vaginal support and this is called a cystocoele. Kegel's exercises will help if the cystocoele is small and you need to do them at least 10 times a day with 10 repetitions - which is not difficult- for at least 3 months. Severe erosion will not be cured by antibiotic or anti- fungal medication alone. You will need a Pap test and colposcopy and if that is normal - a cryotherapy will help.
