How to check chronic cervicitis?

Chronic cervicitis can be diagnosed through gynecological examination, cervical cytology examination, HPV testing, etc., and cure requires medication, physical therapy or surgical treatment depending on the condition.

1. Examination methods for chronic cervicitis

Gynecological examination is an important means of preliminary diagnosis of chronic cervicitis. Doctors observe the shape, color and secretions of the cervix with the naked eye to determine whether there is inflammation. Cervical cytology examinations such as TCT are used to screen for abnormal cervical cells and exclude the risk of cancer. HPV testing helps determine whether there is infection with human papillomavirus. Chronic cervicitis is closely related to HPV infection.

2. Treatment of chronic cervicitis

Drug therapy is a common treatment for chronic cervicitis. Commonly used drugs include antibiotics such as azithromycin and doxycycline, anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, and local medications such as suppositories and gels. Physical therapy is suitable for patients with more serious conditions or ineffective drug treatment. Common methods include laser therapy, cryotherapy, and microwave therapy, which promote the regeneration of healthy tissue by destroying diseased tissue. For patients with severe conditions or other cervical lesions, surgical treatment may be required, such as cervical conization, LEEP knife surgery, etc.

3. Daily care for chronic cervicitis

In terms of diet, it is recommended to consume more foods rich in vitamins C and E, such as citrus fruits, nuts and green leafy vegetables, which can help enhance immunity. Avoid spicy and irritating foods to reduce inflammatory reactions. In terms of lifestyle habits, keep the vulva clean and dry, and avoid using irritating washes. Regular gynecological examinations can detect and treat cervical problems in a timely manner.

Chronic cervicitis can be effectively controlled or even cured through standardized examinations and treatments, but it is necessary to pay attention to daily care and regular checkups to avoid recurrence or aggravation of the disease. If there are abnormal symptoms, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying treatment.
