What are the preventive measures for chronic cervicitis?

Chronic cervicitis is one of the common genital tract inflammations in women. It is usually caused by incomplete treatment of acute cervicitis or repeated attacks. Chronic cervicitis has a long course of disease, hidden symptoms, and is prone to repeated attacks, causing a lot of trouble for patients.

Measures to prevent chronic cervicitis mainly include the following aspects:

1. Pay attention to personal hygiene: Keep the vulva clean and dry, and avoid using irritating cleaning products. During special periods such as menstruation, abortion, and puerperium, pay special attention to hygiene and avoid sexual intercourse and bathing.

2. Avoid high-risk sexual behaviors: Avoid starting sexual life too early, multiple sexual partners, and frequent abortions. These behaviors will increase the risk of infection with pathogens and damage to the cervix.

3. Perform regular gynecological examinations: Perform regular gynecological examinations such as cervical cytology and HPV testing to detect and treat cervical inflammation and other abnormal conditions in a timely manner.

4. Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Maintain healthy eating habits, quit smoking and drinking, eat more fresh vegetables, fruits and whole grains. At the same time, insist on moderate exercise, control weight and improve body immunity.

5. Treatment of other infectious diseases: Actively treat diseases such as vaginitis, which may increase the risk of chronic cervicitis.

6. Avoid damaging the cervix during delivery: If cervical laceration is found, it should be sutured immediately and antibiotics should be used to prevent infection.

7. Actively treat acute cervicitis: Acute cervicitis should be treated promptly to prevent it from turning into chronic cervicitis.

By implementing the above measures, the occurrence and development of chronic cervicitis can be effectively prevented. At the same time, if symptoms of chronic cervicitis occur, seek medical attention and receive treatment in a timely manner.
