Is chronic cervicitis serious?

The severity of chronic cervicitis varies from person to person, but it is usually not considered a serious disease. However, if chronic cervicitis is not treated in time, it may cause some complications, such as pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility, which may have a certain impact on women's fertility and health.

The symptoms of chronic cervicitis mainly include increased leucorrhea, yellowing, sticky texture, sometimes accompanied by odor and vulvar itching. Some patients may experience bleeding after sexual intercourse, lower abdominal distension, backache and other symptoms. Although these symptoms are not serious, if they exist for a long time, they may have a certain impact on women's lives. The diagnosis of chronic cervicitis is mainly based on symptoms and the doctor's gynecological examination. The doctor will observe the appearance of the cervix to understand whether there are lesions such as erosion, hypertrophy, polyps, etc., and collect cervical secretions for relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis.

The treatments for chronic cervicitis mainly include drug therapy, physical therapy and surgical treatment. Drug therapy mainly involves selecting appropriate antibiotics for the pathogen; physical therapy mainly includes laser, freezing, microwave, etc.; surgical treatment is mainly used to treat lesions such as cervical polyps. During the treatment process, patients should actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan and undergo regular checkups to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and their own health. The key to preventing chronic cervicitis is to keep the vulva clean, avoid unclean sexual behavior, and have regular gynecological examinations. At the same time, actively treating gynecological diseases such as acute cervicitis and vaginitis can also help prevent the occurrence and recurrence of chronic cervicitis.

Although chronic cervicitis is not a serious disease, if it is not treated in time, it may cause some complications and have a certain impact on women's fertility and health. Women should pay attention to the prevention and treatment of chronic cervicitis, have regular gynecological examinations, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
