Patient's question:
Female, 35 years old. My daughter has no sexual life, and I am also quite attentive to her hygiene situation. However, recently the young girl always feels itchy in the external genital area, and her studies have been affected. She is very distressed. Please ask: How should chronic cervical inflammation be treated to be trustworthy?Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis is a common disease among women of childbearing age, with two types: acute and chronic. Acute cervicitis often occurs concurrently with acute endometritis or acute vaginitis, but chronic cervicitis is more prevalent. The main symptoms include an increase in vaginal discharge, which is thick and mucous or purulent in nature, sometimes accompanied by streaks of blood or mixed with blood. Long-term chronic mechanical irritation is the primary cause of cervicitis. Chronic cervicitis is mainly caused by infection, leading to symptoms such as increased vaginal discharge and contact bleeding. The treatment is primarily based on physical therapy, as medication is generally ineffective.
