What you should know about cervicitis

Chronic cervicitis is a common disease among women. Most women do not pay enough attention to it. Cervicitis is a time bomb hidden in the body. Be careful not to trigger the fuse to cause an explosion, which will make you suffer unspeakably. How much do you know about cervicitis?

Currently, many female friends do not understand this disease and have some misunderstandings about it.

Some people think that all married women will have cervicitis, which neither affects work nor life, is insignificant, and is the same whether it is treated or not. Another group of people think that cervicitis is a precancerous lesion, and they are afraid of cancer, which leads to "cancer phobia" and affects their personal emotions and even their daily lives.

These are all incorrect. Chronic cervicitis and cervical cancer share some common symptoms, such as vaginal spotting after sexual intercourse or bloody vaginal discharge. In such cases, cervical smears and colposcopy cervical biopsies must be performed to exclude cancer before treating cervicitis. Chronic cervicitis is the most common gynecological disease, and is often caused by pathogens invading and causing infection after childbirth, abortion, or surgical damage to the cervix, and is transformed from acute cervicitis. Often, acute cervicitis is not treated thoroughly, and pathogens hide in the cervical mucosa to form chronic inflammation.

Many women have mild symptoms of acute cervicitis, which are often ignored and lead to chronic cervicitis. About 20%-25% of patients with excessive vaginal discharge are caused by cervicitis. If the leucorrhea caused by inflammation is thick and purulent, it will be detrimental to the passage of sperm through the cervical canal, thus leading to infertility.

Increased vaginal discharge is the most common, and sometimes even the only, symptom of acute cervicitis. The discharge is purulent or mixed with blood, often accompanied by backache and lower abdominal pain. Sometimes the vulva is irritated by the inflammatory secretions and has itching, burning sensation, and urination symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. A small number of patients have symptoms such as sexual intercourse pain and fever.

Some people have mild symptoms after suffering from acute cervicitis, so it is often neglected and develops into chronic cervicitis. The main symptom of chronic cervicitis is increased vaginal discharge. When the inflammation spreads to the pelvic cavity along the uterosacral ligament, there may be pain in the lumbosacral region and pain in the lower pelvic cavity. Its main clinical manifestations are: cervical erosion, cervical hypertrophy, cervical polyps, cervical canal cysts and cervical mucositis.

Generally speaking, simply suffering from cervicitis does not pose a big threat to health, but symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge, back pain, and lower abdominal distension caused by cervicitis often affect people's emotions. From the perspective of cancer prevention, cervicitis is closely related to cervical cancer. Therefore, actively treating chronic cervicitis and taking active preventive measures are of great significance to protecting women's health and preventing and treating cervical cancer.
