How to treat cervicitis

Cervicitis is one of the common gynecological diseases, which is more common in women of childbearing age. It is caused by damage to the cervix and invasion of pathogens, including inflammation of the cervical vagina and inflammation of the cervical canal mucosa. Clinically, cervicitis is divided into acute and chronic types, with chronic inflammation being the most common.

There are three main treatments for cervicitis:

1. Drug treatment: The most common cause of acute cervicitis is infection by pathogenic microorganisms such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Chlamydia trachomatis, which is generally treated with antibiotics. For cervicitis caused by trauma, anti-inflammatory drugs are required for treatment.

2. Physical therapy: Physical therapy is suitable for cases with severe inflammation or deep inflammatory infiltration. Commonly used physical therapies include laser, freezing, infrared coagulation therapy, microwave therapy and electrocautery.

3. Surgical treatment: For those with deep and wide erosion or those involving the cervical canal, cervical cone resection can be considered. Due to the high bleeding caused by traditional cervical cone resection, it is now rarely used. High-frequency radio wave knife Leep knife surgery is now more commonly used. Polypectomy is performed for cervical polyps.

The treatment of cervicitis should be based on the patient's specific situation and the doctor's advice. During the treatment, the patient should maintain good living habits and personal hygiene, and pay attention to diet and rest. If any suspicious symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention for examination and treatment in time.
