Patient's question:
I am 35 years old this year. These days, when I wash my underwear, I always find a lot of curd-like secretions on them, and they smell very bad. I also feel that my private area is damp and itchy, and my lower abdomen is uncomfortable. Please ask: Is the condition of cervicitis serious?Doctor's answer:
Excessive sexual activity or habitual miscarriage, as well as labor and induced abortion procedures, can damage the cervix, leading to bacterial proliferation and causing inflammation. This may result from direct transmission of infectious bacteria, the use of high-concentration acidic or alkaline solutions for vaginal irrigation, or the introduction or retention of foreign objects in the vagina. It is recommended that you undergo the following examinations:Hysteroscopy: A new minimally invasive gynecological screening technology that uses a fiberoptic endoscope for examination and treatment within the uterine cavity. It includes a hysteroscope, energy system, light system, irrigation system, and imaging system.
Pap Smear (Pap Test): Cervical Pap smearing is a simple and effective method for early detection of cervical cancer. It involves fixing and staining cervical epithelial cells, followed by careful microscopic observation, which is typically categorized into five grades.
