Patient's question:
A 46-year-old woman, who generally has no issues, but after each sexual intercourse with her boyfriend, she feels discomfort in her private area. Not only is the color of her discharge abnormal, but the odor is also very unpleasant. This problem has been troubling her for a long time. Please ask: How can chronic cervicitis be treated reliably?Doctor's answer:
When there is cervical inflammation, it is first necessary to conduct a thorough examination to rule out the possibility of cervical cancer. Mild cases can be treated with medication, while moderate to severe cases may require physical therapy, electrocoagulation, cryotherapy, laser treatment, etc. For cases of cervical hypertrophy, deep and extensive erosion that involves the cervical canal, as well as those suspected of malignancy, a cone biopsy of the cervix may be performed. Postoperative follow-up examinations should be conducted as prescribed by the doctor. Sexual activity is strictly prohibited for two months. Finally, during treatment, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate their physical and mental health, keep personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
