Patient's question:
I am 27 years old, female. Recently, when I had sexual intercourse with my husband, I noticed some blood stains down there. My leukorrhea has also increased significantly compared to before. Could you please tell me what usually causes cervical inflammation?Doctor's answer:
Cervicitis is a common gynecological disease, caused by mechanical irritation or injury, such as sexual activity, miscarriage, and birth tears, leading to bacterial overgrowth and resulting in cervical inflammation. When patients have mild cervical erosion, they generally do not have obvious symptoms. It may also only involve a slight increase in leukorrhea, which is often easily overlooked. Many patients with cervicitis are discovered during population surveys or follow-up visits for other gynecological conditions.Advice: It is recommended to visit a formal gynecological hospital to determine an appropriate treatment method based on the specific condition and symptoms, such as medication, surgery, or physical therapy. Maintain good personal hygiene, avoid sexual activity during treatment, and reduce the intake of spicy foods.
