How does cervicitis come about?

Cervicitis is a very common female disease in life. There are many causes of cervicitis in women. Cervicitis is generally divided into chronic cervicitis and acute cervicitis. In fact, no matter what kind of disease it is, our body will have some symptoms before the onset of the disease. If people’s health awareness is not strong, it is easy to be ignored. The following introduces the causes of cervicitis.

Symptoms of acute cervicitis

1. Frequent occurrence of thick, yellow or purulent vaginal discharge, burning or itching of the vulva, and some women may experience non-menstrual bleeding and bleeding after sex.

2. Frequent lumbar and sacral pain, a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, as well as urgency, pain, frequency, and stinging during urination.

3. Examination of the cervix through instruments may reveal superficial symptoms such as ectropion, severe congestion, and brittle texture of the cervical mucosa. In more severe cases, purulent or viscous fluid may flow out of the cervix or accumulate on the surface of the cervix and around the uterus, accompanied by a foul odor.

The diet of patients with acute cervicitis should be mainly high in protein, high in calories, vitamins and trace elements. For example, fish, lean meat soup, beef and chicken are all good choices. For patients with severe illness who cannot eat, nutrition and water should be supplemented through intravenous injection.

Symptoms of chronic cervicitis

Chronic cervicitis has many manifestations, such as cervical erosion, cervical polyps, cervical hypertrophy, etc., because it develops slowly, it is easy to be ignored. Its symptoms are basically the same as those of acute cervicitis, except that it develops very slowly. Patients with chronic cervicitis should arrange their diet reasonably, eat less irritating food, and eat high-protein foods such as lean meat, poultry, milk, and beans.

Preventive measures for cervicitis

1. Married women should go to the hospital for regular check-ups to ensure early detection and treatment.

2. Maintain sexual hygiene, appropriately control the frequency of sexual life, and avoid extramarital sex and sex during menstruation.

3. Try to reduce artificial abortion as it can cause traumatic and bacterial infections to the cervix.

4. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the genitals and avoid sexual intercourse for a period of time after delivery and abortion to prevent infection.

5. Pay attention to whether the menstruation is normal. If the menstrual period is too long or the menstrual cycle is too short, treatment should be taken to prevent the occurrence of cervicitis.

6. When having an artificial abortion as a last resort, be sure to go to a regular hospital for treatment to avoid damage to the cervix by the instruments.

7. Delivery should be performed in a professional hospital to prevent unnecessary damage to the cervix.

Do not wait until the condition becomes serious before seeking treatment, because the treatment of cervicitis is very troublesome and will recur, so you must do a good job of prevention and give yourself a healthy cervix.
