Patient's question:
Female, 26 years old. She had an episode last year and went to the hospital for examination. Medication was prescribed, both topical and oral, which quickly controlled the condition. However, she has been experiencing discomfort in her private area recently, with abnormal vaginal discharge and a particularly strong odor. Question: How should chronic cervical inflammation be treated?Doctor's answer:
Chronic cervicitis is one of the most common diseases among women. It often evolves from acute cervicitis and is more prevalent in unmarried and physically frail women. The cause is typically bacterial infection resulting from damage to the cervix during sexual activity or childbirth. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia, and avoid scratching. Avoid spicy and irritating foods. Change underwear frequently and clean them with warm water. Never wash them together with other clothes to prevent cross-infection.
