Patient's question:
A woman is 36 years old this year. For a while, she felt very tired and went to the hospital for a check-up, only to find out that she had become ill. Please ask: What causes cervical inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis is a common disease among women. The causes can be mainly categorized into several aspects:Mechanical irritation or injury: The recurrence of cervicitis is related to sexual activity. Natural or induced abortion, diagnostic curettage, and childbirth can all cause cervical injury, leading to inflammation.
Pathogen infection: The most common pathogens are mycoplasma and chlamydia. In addition to purulent inflammation caused by staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, streptococcus, and pseudomonas aeruginosa, viruses and trichomonas can also lead to cervicitis.
Chemical irritation: Using certain acidic or alkaline solutions to rinse the vagina.
After developing this condition, active treatment is necessary. Otherwise, it not only affects health but may also impact fertility. Maintain good hygiene, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and strictly refrain from sexual activity during treatment.
